Lucia Woods, a cherished member of her family and community, passed away on March 13, 2025, in Canton, Ohio. Born on September 3, 1935, in Litchfield, Illinois, she lived a life filled with love, dedication, and various passions that enriched the lives of those who knew her.

A proud graduate of Sebring McKinley High School, class of 1953, Lucia was known for her vibrant spirit and enthusiasm. Throughout her life, she took great joy in traveling with her family. Her long-standing membership at the Sebring Country Club exemplified her love for the friendships and opportunities while taking in a round or two.

Lucia's family was her greatest pride and accomplishment. She is survived by her son, James "Jay" Traner; stepdaughter, Lynnette Beetler; stepson, Tom Woods; grandchildren; and great-grandchildren. They will forever cherish the moments they shared and the love she imparted to them.
