Robert (Woody) Woodruff’s life exemplified the 4-H Motto. Woody put his heart into “Making the Best Better” first as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mauritania, Africa, followed by 2 ½ years as 4-H Program Coordinator, and then 6 years as a 4-H Club Leader, Show Superintendent, and Judge. He also dedicated 30 years to restoring habitat at the historic prairie site known as Mud Prairie, where he often hosted events for 4-H families and groups, sharing his knowledge and passion for conservation and outdoor skills. Sangamon County is thankful Woody chose to invest his time and talents into the 4-H Program. He will be greatly missed.
