Jinny Rae Woodcock

Jinny Rae Woodcock, 67, of Lexington, KY, passed away January 21, 2024, at the UK Bluegrass Hospice Care Center. Born March 2, 1956, in Cambridge, NY, Jinny was the daughter of the late Raymond Harvey Woodcock Sr. and Edna Margaret Bodenstab Woodcock. She was also preceded in death by her beloved brother, Chief Woodcock.

Jinny attended Cambridge Central High School in NY and then Berea College in KY obtaining her BSN. After 20 years of nursing, Jinny returned to school and graduated UK with a MSN, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. The number of people touched by Jinny is immeasurable. She was a fierce advocate for her patients and lived her life serving the needs of others. She has influenced and guided the futures of many health care providers with her experience, wisdom, and compassion. Both patients and co-workers depended on Jinny on a daily basis. This work will not be the same without her.

Jinny was an avid reader, gardening extraordinaire and crafter of many things. She shared her projects with many – whether it was a quilt, socks, earrings, bags, food, or garden flowers and veggies. She loved to share with those she loved. And she knew the exact right moment to share those tokens of love, just when they were needed most.

Jinny is survived by three sons, Justin Vicroy, Denver, CO, Jonathan Vicroy (Chelsea), Lexington, KY, Jeffrey Vicroy, Lexington, KY, one daughter, Stephanie Vicroy, Lexington, KY; two brothers, Jerome Woodcock (Kris), Salen NY, and Jan Woodcock, Cambridge, NY; one sister, Judy Gerardi, Saratoga, NY; two sisters-in-law, Erin Woodcock Sheridan, Cambridge, NY and Debi Woodcock, Cambridge NY.

Also left to feel her loss are numerous patients/clients, co-workers and friends. Her memory will inspire the continuation of the service to others that came so naturally to Jinny.
A memorial service will be held at 11am-1pm on February 10th at Rosemont Baptist Church, 556 Rosemont Garden, Lexington, KY 40503.
