In addition to her parents, Avonelle was preceded in death by her husband of sixty-seven years, William V. “Bill” Woodrow on October 16, 2024; and by her son, David Woodrow in 1987.

In keeping with the family's wishes, cremation has taken place, and no viewing or visitation will be held. A private burial by the family will be held at a later date at Washington Cemetery.

As an expression of thanks for the great care to their mother, the family suggests, memorial contributions in Avonelle’s name be made to Heartland Hospice, 116 Morris Road, Circleville, Ohio 43113.
