Maneice Woody

Ms. Maneice “Neacy” Woody, 55, of 309 Idlewild Avenue, passed away on Thursday, February 11, 2016, at St. Francis Downtown. Born in Greenville, she was the daughter of the late Louis Henry and Jacqueline Fernandez Woody.

Maneice dedicated her life to Jehovah God and was baptized as a Jehovah’s Witness on February 1, 2014. She grew up on W. Georgia Rd. in Piedmont and graduated from Woodmont High School. She worked at Sara Lee Bakery for nearly ten years. Cooking, planning get-togethers, bowling, entertaining and playing with grandkids were things she enjoyed doing. Watching “Good Times” and “Sanford and Son” became her favorite pastimes. Neacy's personal music selection was filled exclusively with Smokey Robinson and Elvis Presley. One of her favorite songs was “Cruisin” by Smokey Robinson. Proudest family moments in her words were, “Family get-togethers where we all eat and catch up with each other.”

She was preceded in death by her brothers, Richard and Jack Hollis Woody.

Joe of Simpsonville; sons, Emmanuel Joe of the home and Mozell Joe, Jr. of Greenville; sisters, Barbara Byrd of Greenville and Sara Fernandez of Spartanburg; brothers, Louis (Sharon) Woody of Piedmont and Flynn (Elizabeth Ann) Woody of Greenville; grandchildren, Joeston Gaston and E’Kaylan Joe and a host of other relatives and friends.
