Obituary of James W. Cross

James W. "Woody" Cross, 77, of Little Mountain, SC was called home to be with the Lord on June 20, 2020. He enjoyed a full life centered around his family and will be dearly missed by all who knew him. 

Woody was a multi-sport athlete at Brooklyn-Cayce High School, a brick mason, auto body repair technician, and served as Master Mason of Sinclair Lodge.  He never met a stranger and was an avid collector of corny jokes.  He enjoyed sports, music, conversations, and above all-a good laugh!

He leaves behind his wife, Elizabeth (Lib) Cross of Little Mountain; his two brothers: Norman (Debbie) Cross of Graham, NC and George (Lucille) Cross of Huntsville, AL; four children: Tammy Byers of West Columbia, Debbie Moes of Lexington, Janet Gregory of South Congaree and Kenny Cross of Batesburg-Leesville; stepsons: Robert Jeffrey Lake (Abby) and Calvin Bruce (Teresa) Lake; stepdaughter Angela Elizabeth Lake Syphertt; 13 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
