Early on the morning of February 9, 1942, after several years of declining health, Rev. Loucie D. Woodmancy fell asleep on earth, at his home in Utica, New York, and awaked in eternity.

He was licensed to preach in Genesee Conference in 1902. He held several pastorates in Genesee Conference, including Wellsville: First Methodist Episcopal Church and Buffalo: First Methodist Episcopal Church. He served Oil City: Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, in the Erie Conference and Utica: Central Methodist Episcopal Church, in Northern New York Conference, after which he transferred to New York Conference, where he was pastor of New York City: Grace Methodist Episcopal Church, until ill health forced him to retire. Dr. Woodmancy was very active in educational and fraternal circles. He was the first principal of the post-graduate School of Theology of the Genesee Conference, for many years he taught at the Epworth League Institute at Silver Lake. He was especially successful with with young people's work. His children's services attracted the attention of many outside of his church. He was a thoughtful, scholarly preacher and an especially good pastor in the hour of trouble and need. He was a field agent for Genesee Wesleyan Seminary, was a 32nd Degree Mason, a member of the Royal Arch Masons, and the Rochester Consistory. He also belonged to the Odd Fellows, Beta Theta Pi, Torch and Masonic clubs; and Syracuse University honored him, in 1925, with election to Theta Chi Beta, Honorary Bible Society of the University. Dr. Woodmancy was a fine scholar, a diligent and consistent worker, a Christian gentleman, a brother, and a good minister of Jesus Christ. Earth is poorer and eternity is richer, because of the passing of this good man. He is survived by his wife, the former Nellie A. Tooke, of Syracuse, and one daughter, Mrs. William R. Tidd, of Utica, also two grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at his daughter's home, 136 Proctor Blvd., Utica, New York, on Wednesday afternoon, February 11, 1942, by the Rev. Russell S.
