William Robert Woodburn Sr., “Tommy”, 88, of Leonardtown, MD, passed peacefully at his residence on May 16, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

In addition to his parents, William is preceded in death by his loving wife, Ann Marie Woodburn, “Bebe”, whom he married on April 11, 1955, his son-in-law, Johnny Marshall, and his 11 siblings, Edna Bell (Paul), Bus Woodburn (Hilda), Kenny Woodburn (Ruth), Elaine Ryan (Harry), Amy Tiburzi (Jim), Edwin Woodburn (Bobbie), Ralph Woodburn (Evelyn), Creighton Woodburn (Anne), Raymond Woodburn (Mary Agnes), Millie Babcock (Bob), and Audrey Simmons (Paul).

A lifelong St. Mary's County, MD resident, he enjoyed farming, gardening, caring for his animals, listening to bluegrass music, playing cards, and watching sports, especially enjoying his children and grandchildren’s athletic events. In younger years, he played softball and was inducted into the Softball Hall of Fame in 1987.
