Alleyne D. McClellan Woodward, 88, of Lancaster, passed away on Saturday, June 27, 2026, at United Zion Retirement Community, Lititz.
She was born in Lewistown, daughter of the late Foster R. McClellan and Clair S. McClellan. She was the wife of the late William H. Woodward, with whom she shared 52 years of marriage before his passing on October 17, 2008.
Alleyne, lovingly known as “Mam” by her family, was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She spent many years working at Armstrong World Industries before dedicating herself fully to her home and family, a role she filled with love. Spirited, fierce, and full of warmth, Alleyne’s personality was truly one of a kind. With her blend of strength, sass, and sweetness, she brought a vibrant and unforgettable presence to those around her. She loved her family deeply and showed that love in countless ways, whether through cooking, caring for others, or her generous heart.
She will be remembered for her kindness, her humor, her adventurous spirit, and her protective heart. Whether changing her hair color, enjoying a shopping trip, or getting in the car just to go for a drive, Alleyne lived life with spirit and joy. She was a Christian, and her family finds comfort in knowing she is now in the arms of her beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She is survived by one son, Jeffry A. Woodward, of Elizabethtown; one daughter, Cindy L. Wettig, wife of Stephen “Steve” Wettig, of Lancaster; two grandchildren, Tinae Gieniec, wife of Greg Bowman, and Tyler Gieniec, husband of Angela Gieniec; three great-grandchildren, Emma Bowman, Marina Bowman, and Carter Gieniec; one brother, Foster “Butch” McClellan, husband of Char McClellan, of Lewistown; and two sisters, Salinda Boreman, wife of Dan Boreman, of Mechanicsburg, and Lorraine Mowery, wife of Denny Mowery, of Reedsville. She was preceded in death by one sister, Shirlie Slaughterback; and one granddaughter, Ellen Marie Gieniec.
