Albert Lee Woodbury

BENTON – It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Albert Lee Woodbury at the age of 66. He bravely fought stage 4 pancreatic cancer with the utmost courage, and wildly bold determination to face it head on without treatments. Albert departed from this world on May 13, 2024, after a brief stay at MGMC in Augusta, surrounded by loved ones who will forever cherish the memories they shared.

Born on Oct. 25, 1957, Albert lived a life filled with love for his family and a deep sense of empathy for others. He will be remembered for his need for speed, his mischievous laugh, for being the life and soul of the party, but mostly for his unwavering love, guidance, and support that he gave to his daughter, grandson, and granddaughter.

Albert graduated from Mount View High School in 1976 and went on to start his life on town house hill in Clinton at the ripe age of 19. Professionally he spent the majority of his life in the wood business, delivering firewood to residents in central Maine. His most prideful trade was working alongside Harold Bickford for 30+ years gaining the love for and knowledge of building homes here in Maine with one of the people he respected most in this world. Albert transformed three homes into rental properties and became a landlord for more than 30 years when he moved to Clinton. Raising a family in the old one room schoolhouse before making the move to a brand-new home he built on the Sebasticook river in Benton.

Albert cherished moments spent with his family enjoying the simple pleasures of life. He also experienced extreme pleasure being at the racetracks with his closest friends, smelling the rubber, feeling the vibration from the cars, all with a cold Budweiser in hand. His presence brought such a festive, upbeat feeling to all who knew him, even to the people who did not. His absence will be deeply felt by those who were fortunate enough to have him in their lives.

He was predeceased by his parents William and Caroline Goodblood Woodbury, as well as his brothers Willie and Andy Woodbury.

Albert is survived by his beloved only child Jennifer Woodbury George and her husband Brandon George of Benton; brother Paul and wife Mary Woodbury of Burnham; several nieces and nephews and their families; and his pride and joy, the grandkids, Zachary Reid, Bralynn George, and great-grandson Bentley Reid.

A special thanks to the friends of his that he held near and dear to his heart, you have had such lasting friendships to treasure forever. We cannot thank all of you enough for being such wonderful, loving people.

Albert did not want a formal service, however there will be a celebration of life to come at a later date.

Although he is no longer with us his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
