Michael J. Woodman

Michael Joseph Woodman, 74, passed away at his home on July 4, 2025. Born on May 20, 1951, Michael was the son of the late Robert and Mary (Buckley) Woodman. Michael’s siblings were Robert, John, Teci, Maureen, Marjie, Marty, Robin, Paul, and the late Sharon. He spent his life devoted to his family, friends, and to the outdoors. Michael shared 53 wonderful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Diane Woodman. Together, they raised five children, instilling in them the values of hard work, loyalty, and the love of the outdoors. He was also a proud grandfather to ten grandchildren, each of whom brought him endless joy and pride. An avid outdoorsman, Michael found peace in the woods and on the river. Whether he was in a deer stand at sunrise or casting a line on the river, the outdoors was his sanctuary. One of his greatest joys was the annual hunting trip to the Adam’s farm in Northumberland County with his three sons and eldest grandson. A cherished tradition filled with stories, laughter, and lasting memories. Michael's legacy lives on through the family he loved deeply and the memories made in every season of his life. His kind spirit, strong character, and unwavering love for his family will be missed more than words can express. Michael is survived by his loving wife, Diane Woodman; his five children and their spouses Sean and Amanda Woodman, Shane and Ashlee Woodman, Nicole and Jeremy Friedly, Cody and Kayla Woodman, Brianna Woodman and Brad Whisman. In addition, he is survived by his ten grandchildren: Taylor Friedly, Logan Friedly, Parker Woodman, Stella Friedly, Tucker Woodman, Jack Woodman, Sawyer Woodman, Palmer Woodman, Charlee Woodman and Jackson Whisman. Each of whom will carry his memory in their hearts always. A funeral service honoring Michael’s life will be held at the Sheetz Funeral Home, 16 East Main Street, Mount Joy, PA 17552 on Saturday, July 12, 2025, at 11 AM. Family and friends are invited to attend and celebrate a life well lived. There will be a time of visitation and viewing from 10 AM until the time of the service. Interment will be private and at the convenience of the family.
