Earline Woods

Earline Woods was born June 22, 1933, the beloved daughter of the late Henry and Carrie Kearse. She departed this life to be with Jehovah on Thursday, July 31, 2025, in West Columbia, South Carolina.

She was affectionately known as “The Fox” and “Mama Nana,” by family. Earline was employed for more than thirty-five years as a dedicated physical therapist assistant at White Oak Manor.

Earline was a dedicated Jehovah’s Witness for more than sixty (60) years, and was currently attending the Gaston, SC Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
