After a long battle with cancer, Bliss Woodall, age 84 of Murfreesboro, formerly of Nashville, died Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at St. Thomas Rutherford hospital. He was a native of Nashville and was a son of the late Ira David Woodall and Eva Camp Woodall.

Mr. Woodall was a United States Navy veteran and retired from McGavock High School as a vocational educational teacher after 46 years of service. Once retired, he continued as a volunteer with the vocational program at McGavock.
While Mr. Woodall had quite a few passions, his greatest joys came from being a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He adored teaching his family everything he could and savored time spent with them.
Mr. Woodall was quite skilled with tools, especially with automobiles. So patient, he thoroughly enjoyed hunting and fishing. He also appreciated a good round of golf.
