Private Memorial Services will be held on Friday, December 11, 2020 for Mrs. Julia Woodward, 73, who passed away on Sunday, December 6, 2020 at Lafayette General Medical Center. Mrs. Julia grew up in Verda, LA and lived most of her life with her husband and daughters in Hahnville, LA. She had a masters degree in guidance and counseling and devoted her life to her family, teaching, and counseling. Julia was a woman of strong faith. She prayed daily and attended mass every week. She shared her gifts with her church community by teaching Catechism and teaching at a private Catholic School for many years. She was such a loving and giving person who was always willing to listen. She captured the hearts of her students and their parents the minute they met her with the passionate energy and charisma that she brought into her class room and even beyond the school walls. They were not students and parents to her; they were her extended family. Julia is often described by her friends and family as fun loving, selfless, and charismatic. She was the life of the party. Some of her hobbies included reading, traveling, cooking for family and friends, watching her grandchildren play sports, cheering on Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints. Survivors include her beloved husband, Mr. Alvin Woodward of Lafayette; her daughter, Danielle Woodward of Wyoming; her daughter, Ashley Woodward of Wyoming; her grandchildren, Savannah Woodward of Wyoming, Brock Amedee of Wyoming, Bryce Amedee of Wyoming and Hanna Authement of Lafayette; her great-grandchildren, Trevor Wicks Jr. and Lola Wicks both of Wyoming; her brother, Jack Brumley Jr. of Montgomery, LA and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mr. Jack Brumley and Mrs. Nellie Mae Self; her brothers Paul Brumley, Greg Brumley, Damian Brumley and her sister Nona Brumley Wise.
