WOODWORTH – Charles Gordon, age 68, of Enfield. With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved brother Charles on January 30, 2018 at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro, with his family by his side. Born on March 8, 1949 in Truro, he was the son of the late Sidney and Evelyn (Smith) Woodworth, and grew up in Milford. Charles had many joys in life; he loved listening and singing country and gospel music, good food, journaling his thoughts and feelings, and playing Bingo. Charles enjoyed visits from his family; he loved people, and they loved him.
