David "Pete" Woodson
David “Pete” Woodson, Clermont Iowa passed away January 25, 2016 at Palmer Lutheran Health Center in West Union, Iowa after a long battle with cancer.
David Franklin, the son of Howard and LaVaune (Miller) Woodson, was born February 4, 1939 in West Union, Iowa.
He graduated from the West Union High School in 1957. Out of high school, Pete was employed with the Fayette County Road Department.
Pete was united in marriage with MaryAnn Scheidel on September 17, 1960 at the St. Francis De Sales Catholic Church in Ossian, Iowa.
From 1965-1970 Pete tried his hand at farming, but soon realized he was born to move dirt. In 1972, he started working for Reilly Construction. He had great pride in being part of statewide projects along interstate I-380, I-330, and Volga Lake. In 1990, Pete went back to work for Fayette County and retired in 2001 after teaching many young men the ropes. Lehmann Rock and Lime and West Union Trenching kept him busy up to the summer of 2014.
Pete was a member of the St. Peter’s Catholic Church. Pete enjoyed spending time with his family and friends; visiting old buddies at the Lake of the Ozarks, fishing his favorite spot down in the “Gulch,” restoring his 1947 Ford tractor, and spending time, many, many years at the Mississippi River.
