The son of Henry Andreas and Elvira Jensen, he was born April 9, 1917, in Elwood, Utah. He was raised in Holbrook where he learned his ethics of hard work from his father. In 1942, he enlisted in the Army and served as a tank driver in the European Theater earning many distinguished awards. He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and held many positions throughout his life. After their first kiss on the Preston Ferris wheel, he married his sweetheart Lois Mae Christiansen on Oct. 27, 1950. She later became his eternal companion when they were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake LDS Temple in 1963. His devoted caring for Lois, who has suffered from Parkinson's disease for many years, was unwavering, and he was truly an example to us all. Woodrow and Lois lived in Layton and Kaysville before moving to Fairview, Idaho, following his retirement as an aircraft mechanic from Hill Air Force Base, in 1972. Woodrow enjoyed spending time with his family and loved his annual family reunions.
