Taffy
"Tata" Ann Woods, known for her unwavering kindness and selflessness,
passed away peacefully on June 6, 2024, in Arco, Idaho, at the age of
77. Born on November 18, 1946, in Los Angeles, California, Taffy leaves
behind a legacy of love and compassion that will forever be cherished by
those who were fortunate enough to have known her.
Predeceased by
her father, Arthur Whiting, Jr, mother, Colleen Hollowwa, and
step-father, Chuck Hollowwa, Jr ; Taffy is survived by her beloved
son-Greg Bammel; loving and supportive sister and her husband, Darleen
and Lindsay Rogers, and caring brother and his wife, Roger and Charlotte
Whiting, as well as her nieces, Shannon Rogers-and her husband, Jeff
Daus Davis- and Aleesa Rogers and great niece, Seleena.
Taffy's
life was one filled with meaningful contributions and talents. She
graduated from Burbank High School and dedicated over 30 years to the
printing industry as an Office Manager/Accountant before retiring. Her
commitment to her work was only surpassed by her devotion to her family
and furry companions. Taffy's love for animals, from her dogs to her
horses, was unparalleled, and she always ensured they were spoiled and
very loved.
A woman of many skills, Taffy was not only a
talented seamstress, baker, and cook but also a creative individual who
excelled at everything she did. Her passion for music, playing the
organ and piano, and crafting beautiful flower arrangements displayed
her artistic abilities. Taffy's diverse talents extended to knitting,
gift wrapping, and creating memorable decorations for parties and
holidays (with Holloween and Christmas being her favorites) as well as
outside landscaping with walkways and flowers. She was also a collector
of plates and Christmas ornaments; especially Disney themed - and Eeyore
was her favorite!
In addition to her accomplished career and
hobbies, Taffy had a special bond with her siblings, her nieces, and
adopted son, Greg. She was known as the best sister and aunt that ever
existed, always bringing joy and adventure to those around her.
A
Celebration of Life Service for Taffy took place on Sunday, July 14,
2024, at the Hilltop Restaurant in Burbank, California. In honor of her
life and passion for animals, donations to Guide Dogs for the Blind or
the ASPCA are kindly requested in lieu of flowers.
Taffy's absence
leaves a void in the lives of those who knew her, but her spirit of
generosity and creativity will continue to inspire for generations to
come. She will be dearly missed but fondly remembered by all who were
touched by her warmth, love and compassion for family, friends and
animals.
