Woodrow Lee Holbein, of Mt. Pleasant, husband of Martha Wendolyn "Winnie" Holbein, passed away November 4, 2010.
Mr. Holbein was born on January 1, 1929, in Gallipolis, Ohio to the late Frederick Holbein and Lorena Holbein Erwin.
After graduating from high school, Mr. Holbein enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he served three years before entering college. He obtained his undergraduate degree from Baldwin-Wallace College, his graduate degree from Western Reserve University, and furthered his education at the University of South Carolina.
Before coming to The Citadel, Woody taught at Marshall College in Huntington, WV and Bethany College in Bethany, WV. He taught at The Citadel from 1957-1998. While there he inaugurated the Citadel Fine Arts Series and served as chairman for many years. He was also chairman of the Faculty Council for two terms.
Two things made Woody laugh: obituaries and Andy Capp. He loved to read, watch old movies and follow sports. He appreciated a fine bottle of scotch and enjoyed traveling with Winnie. Woody delighted in listening to western, Broadway and classical music on his way to Marble Slab for weekly ice cream dates with his granddaughter. When his grandsons came to visit, a sporting event or movie was a given.
He was the nephew of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Cochran of Portsmouth, Ohio and is survived by his wife of 54 years, Winnie Holbein of Mt. Pleasant; two daughters, Beth Ritchey and husband, John, of Fayetteville, GA and Jessica McQuatters of Mt. Pleasant; grandchildren, Tradd Ritchey at Georgia Tech, Miles Ritchey of Fayetteville, GA and Lauren McQuatters of Mt. Pleasant.
Burial: Mt. Pleasant Memorial Gardens.
