Zora Belle Woods

Zora Belle Blair Woods passed away peacefully at home on June 9, 2025, at the age of 80. She was born on December 1, 1944, and spent the last 20 years of her life in Pittsburg, Texas, where she was cherished as a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and friend.

Zora was a graduate of OHS High School in Odessa, Texas, and carried the values instilled in her by her parents, Doyle and Almeda Blair.

A woman of many interests, Zora enjoyed reading, antiquing, and creating memories with her family. Her passion for collecting antiques reflected her appreciation for history and storytelling, which she shared with her loved ones. She was a proud grandmother of two grandsons Colin and Cameron who found immense joy in her family and loved spending time with all of them.

Zora's warm spirit and genuine kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, reminding us of the importance of love, laughter, and connection.

Zora is survived by her devoted husband, Mike Jack Woods, and her two beloved children: daughter Michele Denise Woods (Maher) and son Michael Aaron Woods. She was preceded in death by her mother and father, along with her siblings: DA Blair, Elton Blair, Johnnie Blair, and Gary Don Blair.
