Ayana Williams Obituary, Forever In Our Heart Ayana Williams

Ayana Williams Obituary,  Death – On January 29, 2013, the community of Alexandria mourned the passing of Michael Francis Woodfin, a devoted husband, father, and community servant. Born into the loving embrace of Gilbert H. Woodfin and Juanita D. Woodfin, Michael’s life was a testament to service and compassion.

Retired from Fairfax County as a purchasing supervisor, Michael found fulfillment not only in his professional career but also in dedicating his time to others. A compassionate soul, he volunteered at INOVA Alexandria Hospital and INOVA Mt. Vernon Hospital in various capacities, including the role of chaplain. His selflessness touched the lives of many, bringing comfort and solace to those in need.

Survived by his beloved wife, Virginia “Ginger” Woodfin, Michael leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion. His daughter, Jennifer Llamas, and her husband, Christopher, were not only beneficiaries of his boundless love but also witnesses to his unwavering commitment to family. Two grandchildren, Shaelyn and Gunnar, brought joy and laughter into his life.

In his immediate family, Michael is survived by his mother, Juanita D. Woodfin, and two brothers, Ronald Woodfin with his wife Sandi, and John Woodfin with his wife Amy. Nieces Savannah and Chandler Woodfin, and nephew Timothy Woodfin, share in the grief of losing a beloved family member.

A funeral service to honor and celebrate Michael’s life will take place at 11 a.m. on Monday, February 4, 2013, in the Petersburg Chapel of J.T. Morriss and Son Funeral Home. The Rev. Carl Weaver will officiate the service, offering words of comfort and remembrance. Interment will follow in Southlawn Memorial Park, a final resting place for a man who enriched the lives of those around him.

As condolences pour in, the community reflects on the impact Michael Francis Woodfin had on Alexandria. His memory will be forever cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know him. To express condolences and share memories, friends and well-wishers may visit www.jtmorriss.com.

In the wake of this loss, may Michael’s spirit of service inspire others to lend a helping hand, fostering a community built on compassion and love.
