Linnie Lee Wood

Poquoson – Linnie Lee Wood 75, passed on to her heavenly home on Friday, November 26, 2022.  She was a life long resident of Poquoson and truly loved her town.  She was born on June 25, 1947 to Roy W and Anna C Forrest.  She graduated from Poquoson High School in 1965.  In the summer of 1967 while carpooling to the Shipyard she met Richard Wood, a farm boy from Troutville, Virginia, who quickly became the love of her life.  They married in June of 1969 and built a beautiful life together.  She was a member of Ivy Memorial Baptist Church in Hampton.  She loved working with the WMU and food pantry until her health prevented it.  She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Richard Wood, three daughters, LeAnne Byrum (Don), Jessica Davis (Jeremy) and Richina White (Ken). Her grandchildren were the light of her life, Hillary Marek (Mike), Alexa Byrum, Gwen Wood, Christopher Davis, Allison Davis and Alyssa White and her first great-grandchild due in April.  She is also survived by many loving extended family members and friends.  We will celebrate her life on Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 11:00 at Ivy Memorial Baptist Church in Hampton with Dr. Brian Williams officiating. The family will receive friends starting at 10:00.  Please don’t send flowers but instead make a donation in her memory to the Lottie Moon Christmas offering at Ivy Memorial Baptist Church, 2200 Coliseum Drive, Hampton VA 23666.
