Mrs. Blackwood is survived by her husband of 73 years, James Mitchell Blackwood; daughters, Patti Lovelady (Rob), Cathy Bodley (Greg); grandchildren, Carrie Bonham (Steven), Captain Zachary Bodley United States Army, and Catherine Bodley; great grandchildren, Brady Bonham, Cooper Bonham and Kenzie Bonham and sister, Emily Shelton.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dewitt Talmadge Green, Sr. and Betsy Jane Green and brother, Dewitt Talmadge Green, Jr.
Mrs. Blackwood was retired from the State of Alabama as a nursing secretary. She enjoyed traveling extensively until health issues kept her closer to home.
The family would like to thank Decatur Home Care and Riverside Senior Living, which was her home for the past 17 months, for their loving attention and care. They became like family, not only to her, but to her family as well.
The family would also like to thank Hospice of the Valley for helping our family navigate through such a difficult time and lastly, Dr. Rodney Harney and his entire office staff for their wonderful care of her for many years.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Austinville United Methodist Church or Hospice of the Valley.
Roselawn Funeral Home has the honor of serving the family.
