Hollis Woodrow "Woody" Warrick, age 89, a resident of West Milton, Ohio until his health declined in recent months, passed away on Monday, October 24, 2016 at SpringMeade Health Center in Tipp City. Woody was born in Smyrna, Tennessee on September 22, 1927 to the late Hoyt Raymond and Gracie (Brewer) Warrick.  Woody married Phyllis Elaine Anderson who preceded him in death on December 3, 2002 after 54 years of marriage.

Woody is survived by one daughter, Marsha (Don) Miller of Greenville, two grandsons, Justin Miller and Jason Miller, and many friends.  In addition to his parents and wife, Woody was preceded in death by two brothers, James Jackson Warrick and Hoyt Raymond Warrick, Jr.

Woody was formerly employed as a welder in Detroit, Michigan. There he became a member of Lincoln Park Ionic Masonic Lodge #539, F&AM.  Woody was very proud of his lodge membership and on March 15, 2016 marked 60 years as a Master Mason. Beginning in 1966, Woody worked as a welder and heavy equipment operator at a sand and gravel pit in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  Following his retirement in 1989, Woody and his wife Phyllis moved to Las Vegas, Nevada.  After his wife's death in 2002, Woody moved to Ohio to be closer to his daughter, but he always hated Ohio's cold winters and missed living in warm, sunny Florida which he truly loved.

Funeral services will be held at 7:00 PM on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at Baird Funeral Home, 555 North Market St., in Troy.  Family and friends may call at the funeral home from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Woody's cremains will be interred at Riverside Cemetery in Troy and there will be no graveside service.
