“Woody” Joslin passed away on January 9, 2025, in Grand Saline, Texas. Born on July 15, 1953, in Grand Saline to Woodrow and Mildred Faye Wortman Joslin, Woody lived a life marked by service, dedication, and passion. A graduate of Grand Saline High School, he pursued further education at Henderson County Junior College. Woody devoted several years to camp ministry, serving at Aspendale Baptist Encampment in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, for five years and later at Camp Copass in Denton, Texas, for two years. He eventually returned to Grand Saline to assist his mother in caring for his ailing father. Following a 20-year career with the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), Woody retired and dedicated himself to his lifelong passion for agriculture. He raised crossbred cattle and registered rodeo bulls full-time until his passing. Woody's legacy is one of commitment to his community and the values he held dear. He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
