Eddie Lamar Woodall, 74, of Calhoun, Georgia passed away Monday, March 13, 2023, from
injuries sustained from an accident. He was born in Calhoun, Georgia on June 11, 1948, to the
late Elbert “Skin” and Dorothy Goss Woodall. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death
by his brothers, Richard Woodall, Jerry Woodall, and Ronald Woodall; sister-in-law, Dolores
Woodall.
He is survived by his daughters, Genia (Chuck) Kirby, Lori (Brent) Whitley; mother of his children,

Eddie was a beloved son, brother, father, grandfather, and friend. Known for his green thumb,
yearly garden and canning, love of hunting Indian relics, researching and teaching others about
family heritage, and story telling (some truths...and some not), Eddie’s hands were never idle. For
many years he was a skilled mechanic and loved working on old cars, trucks, and tractors. Eddie
loved working with his daughters Lori and Genia at Canvas Craze, making beautifications for

grandchildren that he was so proud of and loved to talk about to anyone that would listen.
