Arthur T. Woodward
November 28, 1943 - March 5, 20016
Arthur "Art" Thomas Woodward, 72, of Grand Junction, CO, passed away on March 5, 2016, surrounded by his family.
Art was a Grand Valley native. He was born to Oscar and Leta (Anderson) Woodward on November 28, 1943. He grew up on the family ranch on the "Redlands", taking over when he was just 17 upon the passing of his father. He graduated from Grand Junction High School in 1961, then attended Mesa College. He married Sharon Daily on August 10, 1964, and they had two children, Tami and Tony. He and Sharon divorced in 1983, but remained friends.
Art enjoyed a successful career as an implement and plumbing supply salesman, retiring in 2009, at the age of 65. Art’s love was gardening. He was a very good gardener and always had a garden growing, sharing his vegetables with anyone he met. He loved the outdoors, camping, hunting, hiking, fishing and
horseback riding and spent as much time outside as he could. He shared that love with his children and grandchildren, and taught all his grandchildren how to fish. The family spent many
summers camping and exploring the "back roads" and
mountains of Colorado. He enjoyed trains and built a train
"county" with roads, buildings, mountains, tunnels, streams and lots of trees, all named after his grandchildren.
Art is survived by his children, Tami Beard and Tony (Cindy)
Woodward; grandchildren, Chelsea Woodward, Ashley Beard,
Amber Beard, Wade Woodward, Joel Woodward and Mary
Paige Woodward; sisters, Betty (Bob) Bjerstedt, Kay Hanson,
Marilyn Stilwell and Carol (Ken) Hilton. He was preceded in
death by his parents.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take
place at Callahan-Edfast Mortuary on Saturday, March 12, at
11:00 a.m.
The family would like to thank the staff and nurses at
Community Hospital and Dana at HopeWest for the wonderful
care Art received. In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can
be made to HopeWest or The American Heart Association.
