Timothy "Tim" W. Woodley, Sr.

Timothy “Tim” W. Woodley, Sr., 74, of Stilesville, was freed from all earthly ailments on Monday, July 17, 2023. He was born in Indianapolis on August 17, 1948 to the late Rathel John L and Eva (Middleton) Woodley. Growing up in the rural community of Bellville, Tim attended Cascade schools. While working at a local gas station in his youth, he met the girl that he would spend his mature years with, Jeannine. Although the two were on different paths in life at the time, she remained a constant in his life and the two would reconnect in the later years marrying on November 17, 1990. A dedicated father, Tim was involved in his children’s lives, coaching both baseball and softball teams. One who was drawn to the water, summers were spent on the family boat cruising the local lakes, as well as water skiing. Securing employment with IPL, Tim was a talented lineman for 32 years before retiring in 2001. A member of the Hazelwood Christian Church, he and Jeannine most recently attended the Stilesville Christian Church. In his younger years, Tim enjoyed golfing, hunting, and most of all, riding horses. He reveled in vacationing to all places tropical, including Daytona Beach, Cabo, and Naples, as well as heading west to visit the Grand Canyon. A talented dancer, he and Jeannine could be found at the Mill Creek Inn cutting a rug on weekends. Diagnosed with lung cancer in 2015, Tim’s life was forever changed. The once vibrant man fought his best fight for as long as he could, only for the cancer to return. Although he wasn’t one to openly show affection, he loved his family wholeheartedly and deeply, and they felt that from him. He will be forever missed by all who were blessed to know him. Along with his parents, Tim was preceded in death by his son, Joseph Burton, III. He leaves behind his loving and devoted wife of 32 years, Jeannine (Bastin) Woodley of Stilesville; children, Kelly Chew (Ron) of Mooresville, Tim Woodley (Carey) of Plainfield, and Heather Burner (Bryan) of Englewood, FL; siblings, Janet Huffman of Greencastle, Rick Woodley (Debbie) of Bellville, and Doug Woodley (Linda) of Danville; grandchildren, Joshua Zorman (Rebecca) of Plainfield, Hannah Daye (Trey) of Las Vegas, NV, Macey Kilgore (Kuade) of Plainfield, Zachary Woodley of Denver, CO, Taylor Burton and Tyler Burrton, both of Indianapolis.; great grandchildren, Bryson, Braelyn, Chloe, Noah, and one on the way-Elijah.
