Mr. Woodworth, dear husband, father, grandfather and friend, deserved a beautiful tribute. However, due to health concerns related to the COVID-19 virus and by the signing of the executive order by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, the services on Friday, April 17, were for the family only. David Easton officiated. Interment was in Green Lawn Memorial Gardens in Villa Ridge.
