Obituary | Ty Woody of Bennington, Kansas | Wilson Family Funeral Home

March 28, 1950 - October 23, 2022

Tyson (Ty) Chadwick Woody, 72, Bennington, passed away October 23, 2022, at his home.

Ty was born March 28, 1950, in Salina to Gerald and Alice (Christenson) Woody.

He graduated from Minneapolis High School and attended Kansas State University.

Ty then started his career as a highly desired trim carpenter. He also built his own home in Bennington, where he lived out the rest of his life.

His favorite enjoyment was working crossword puzzles and the Sundays when he opened up his home for his friends to watch and converse their favorite sports and events – generally, it was NASCAR racing. Ty’s very favorite pastime was getting up at sunrise and taking his camera and truck on the backroads to photograph nature, birds, animals, and old farms and buildings. He had an excellent eye to capture the perfect picture. Ty had a fabulous collection of photos that he had taken over the years.

Ty was preceded in death by his parents and his younger brother, Brad Woody who lived in Springfield, Mo.

Survivors include his sister Sheri Woody Cram and her husband Dan of Overland Park; brother Jerry Woody and his wife Vel of Wichita; six nieces and nephews; seven great-nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.

Memorial services and memorial contributions will be announced at a later date.
