Robert K. Woodbury

Robert Kenneth Woodbury disappeared from this Earth on July 28. He was born on May 5,

1931, in Oak Park, Ill., to Kenneth and Bernice Woodbury. He looked forward to seeing his son, Scott Robert, and brother, James Parker, who both preceded him in death.

Robert left his loving wife of 64 years, Linda Rosemarie Dixon Woodbury. Other survivors include children, Susan Woodbury, Brian (Liz) Woodbury, Keith Woodbury, Kim Woodbury (Joe) Invergo; daughter-in-law, Laurie Huber Woodbury; sister-inlaw, Anna Parker; sister, Gwen Havelin; brother, Bill (Milagros) Woodbury; grandchildren, Jason (Elizabeth) Woodbury, Ryan (Rosie) Woodbury, Ethan Woodbury, Kelsey Woodbury, Alyssa Invergo, Joe Invergo, Dan (Eileen) Stevenson and great grandchildren, Robert, Christopher, Elena, Ava, Ella, Sadie-Grace, Noah — all Woodburys.

Family was Robert’s legacy and joy. He and his sons were active in the Cub/Boy Scouts. The children loved going with their dad to baseball/basketball games, zoos, antique auto shows, and museums.

Robert had a BS degree, master’s degree in social work, master’s degree in hospital administration, and a doctor of divinity. A cradle Episcopalian, he studied at the Bishop Anderson House in Chicago, becoming a chaplain. He spent most of his professional life in the service of others; helping children was important to him.

A life-long reader, he liked reading mysteries for the Garland Library’s Sleuther Club. While in Hot Springs, he attended Pocket Theater and the Muses.

A celebration of life will be held in the Chicagoland area.
