William F. Woodside, 70, of Seekonk passed away on Friday, March 5, 2021 at Rhode Island Hospital. He was the husband of Ann-Marie (Adams) Woodside.

Born in Providence, he was a son of the late Gilbert D. Sr. and Eleanor R. (Arrighie) Woodside. Bill worked in law enforcement for the Town of Seekonk for fifteen years before he retired. He loved being a police officer and always welcomed the chance to help others. He was a good hearted man and spent many years after retirement doing volunteer work for children. He was an avid baseball fan, and in his youth he was scouted by the Kansas City Royals. Bill most enjoyed spending time in the North Country fishing, hunting, and camping.

Besides his wife, he leaves two children, Jonathan Woodside and his wife Marcia and Lindseyann Woodside.  He leaves three grandchildren, and four brothers, Gilbert D. Woodside Jr. of Seekonk, Mark Woodside of Riverside, Scott Woodside of Attleboro and Jeff Woodside of Seekonk. He was the brother of the late Cheryl Barnhart.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday, March 11, 2021 at 10:00 AM in St. Martha’s Church, 2595 Pawtucket Avenue, East Providence.

Dear Ann, Jon and Lyndsey, So sorry to hear of your loss. I have great memories of going to North Camps with all of you. We had so much fun. Tons of laughs and lots of silly stories to share. The stories Craig has shared with me when he worked the same shift at the Police Dept. were always entertaining to say the least. We will miss his huge heart and enormous presence. Take care. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Linda and Craig

I don't know what to say I will miss you more than words. I'm glad I got to see you a few times before you left us. I will miss seeing you and you telling me "hey kid". I will miss you wanting "swamp soup" and just your busting of chops. I have something planned so I will never ever forget you. I love you so much and I will see you down the road U.B
