Patricia "Pat" Smith Woodward, 76, died July 24, 2012 at Elizabeth House in Flat Rock, NC.  She was born in Radford, VA on Dec. 31, 1935 to the late Dr. Richard and Nona Smith and graduated from Radford High School in 1952.  She earned a degree in Physical Therapy from Mary Washington College in 1956 and a certificate of Physical Therapy from Duke University in 1958.  She married the late Fred Woodward in 1963 and had resided in Brevard since 1982.



She loved her 40 year career of service as a Licensed Physical Therapist working in Virginia, Connecticut and North Carolina.  She retired from Pardee Hospital in Hendersonville, NC in 1995.  She had been an active parishioner and choir member of St. Philips Episcopal Church in Brevard and a member of numerous civic and healthcare organizations including the Pilot Club International and the American Physical Therapy Association.
