Woodson graduated from San Benito High School in 1964 and went on to earn a bachelor's degree at Abilene Christian and a master's degree from Memphis State University. She returned to the Valley to take the helm at Weslaco, PSJA, McAllen, Sharyland, McAllen High, and Hidalgo high schools.

The Valley Coach of the Year winner for 1994, 1996, 1998 and 1999 burnished her legacy by helping build the program at Hidalgo High to cap an awesome career as a volleyball teacher.
