Funeral arrangements announced for Brenham girl swept away by floodwaters
BRENHAM, Texas (FOX 44) – Funeral arrangements have been announced for the Brenham girl who was swept away by floodwaters last week.
According to the obituary for ten-year-old Devah Marie Woods, funeral arrangements have been entrusted to the Lewis Funeral Home and Allen Dave Funeral Home. Both the public viewing and funeral service will be held at the Goodwill Missionary Baptist Church, located at 9180 Hwy 105 in Brenham.
All public viewing will take place on Saturday, May 17, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., due to limited space at the church. Funeral services will last from 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. and are reserved for immediate family, close friends, ministers, school officials, government servants, civic leaders, and church members.
The service will be broadcast live on the church website and their YouTtube channel starting at 1:45 p.m. for all who would like to join virtually.
Flowers can be delivered directly to the church on Saturday, May 17, between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. If you would like to plant Memorial Trees in memory of Devah, you can click here.
This comes after the Brenham Independent School District said last week that third-grade Brenham Elementary student Devah Woods was reported missing following the severe weather on May 5. The City of Brenham confirmed on May 6 that Devah was found dead in Higgins Branch, between FM-2935 and Old Independence Road, following a two-day intensive search.
