He was born on Jan. 7, 1939, in Summitville, the son of Phyllis Ault Fran Denny and Russell Woodruff.
He was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Rex Woodruff.
Jay married the love of his life and school sweetheart, Donna Coy, on June 30, 1957.
Jay worked at Endicott and Korth Furniture, both in Warsaw. He was a part owner of Conley Oil and, later, he and Donna owned and ran Frank & Jerry’s Market in Mentone for 20 years. Jay was known for his ham salad that was a favorite of many.
He was a member of Pathway Church in Warsaw. Jay loved the Lord and shared his faith whenever possible. He enjoyed golf, playing games, horses and having fun. Jay never knew a stranger and loved to laugh. His family meant the world to him and he enjoyed spending time with them. He was fearless with his love.
Jay is survived by his wife, Donna; two children: Michael Jay (Deb) Woodruff of St. Charles, Mo.; Tina (Dan) Warren, of Warsaw; nine grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and a brother, Dale Woodruff, of Swansea, S.C.
