Margaret May (Flint) Woodruff, born Sept. 10, 1919 in Bellflower, Ill., died peacefully at home in Sycamore, Ill., on Oct. 6, 2012.

At her death, she was surrounded by family and friends and, on the day of her death, had experienced her first Skype phone call with her granddaughter in Spain. She had lived will, loved well and died well.

She was pre-deceased by her husband, Arnold Bond Woodruff, and her sister, Mable Wallen. She is survived by all six of her children: Arnold (Diane) of Richmond, Va.; Margaret of Coos Bay, Ore.; Larry (Claudia) of Orland Park, Ill.; Emily (John) Almeida of Bloomington, Ill.; Martin (LeAnn) of Monticello, Ill.; Kenneth (Mary Jo) of Indianapolis, Ind. She has 15 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren (2 sets of twins) and four nieces and nephews.

In addition to her devotion to her family, Margaret was a music and English teacher in the northern Illinois region for many years and was an active participant in local causes, most notably efforts to protect active farm land from development.

Margaret, considerate of others to the end, has continued the family tradition of donating her body to science, therefore there will be no formal viewing or visitation.

A memorial service, celebrating and honoring Margaret will be held on Nov. 3, 2012 at 2:00pm at The Federated Church of Sycamore. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The A. Bond and Margaret F. Woodruff Scholarship Award at Northern Illinois University. To send an online condolence visit: www.ronanmoorefinch.com.
