Philip (Phil) Woods, age 65, of Doylestown passed away peacefully at home on June 28, 2020 after a brief but brave battle with pancreatic cancer. He was born in Philadelphia in 1954 and grew up with his four brothers (Pat, Ed, Chuck and Gerry) in Lansdale. He is a graduate of Lansdale Catholic High School in 1972. 

In the early 1970s, Phil enjoyed his time working at West Point Park, an amusement park near Lansdale. In January he retired after working 47 years with ACME Markets, most recently as Dairy Manager at the Doylestown ACME. He was known for greeting his customers with a smile and even knowing them by name. He was elected by his co-workers as the Union Steward for the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 1776 to advocate for employee rights. 

Phil had a life-long love of sports and coached CYO basketball for St. Isadore’s in Quakertown. He passionately dedicated 28 years of his life as the Field Manager for Quakertown Midget Football Association. In recognition of Phil’s dedication to maintaining the football field, Quakertown Midget Football Field was honored with the Field of the Distinction by Keystone Athletic Field Managers Organization (KAFMO) in 2003 and an Honorable Mention in 2014. 

Phil was a devoted dad and granddad.  He loved to travel and just last year took a bucket-list trip out west. He had a great sense of humor and was even cracking jokes during the last week of his life. 

Phil is proceeded in death by his parents, Edward and Emma (McIntyre) Woods and his brother Charles “Chuck” Woods. He was previously married to Lillian “Lynn” (Mullaly) Polli for thirty years. He is survived by their three children, Nora Filewicz (Raymond), Jena Pado (Joseph) and Shawn Woods (Lori) and his 6 grandchildren, Danica, Trinity, Jake, Jocelyn, Emma and Caleb.  

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in memory of Phil to Doylestown Hospital.  

The family would like to thank all the love and support they’ve received, including Doylestown Hospital Hospice and his nurse, Amanda, from Nursing Care Services.
