While surrounded by her family, on Tuesday morning, April 29, 2025, Mrs. Peggy Ann Woods, age 82,  beloved wife of James W. Woods, passed away at their home in Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island, Florida.

Born in Dublin, Georgia, she was the only daughter of two children born to the late Jean Barnard Baggett and Reva Williams Baggett.  She attended school in Laurens County and in 1963 married Laurens County native, James Wendell Woods.  The newlyweds made their first home in Bainbridge, Georgia where her husband was assigned with his employment with Seaboard Airline Railroad, which would later become CSX.  They lived in various locales with her husband's career until settling in Fernandina Beach in 1976.  Mrs. Woods had worked in the Grocery Store Industry for over thirty years; initially with Pantry Pride and Big Star before joining Food Lion where she was the Delicatessen Manager, until retiring in the early 1990s.
