Lockett Louise Wood

Lockett Louise Wood, age 60, passed away on May 21, 2026. Born to Janice and William “Billy” Wood, Jr., she was raised in Conroe, where her youth was spent with her family and loving grandaparents, Ophelia and Rudy Haferkamp and Lockett and William Wood Sr. She attended Conroe High School, where she formed many of her close life-long friendships, and she often spoke with great affection of her years there. After graduation, she attended her father’s alma mater Texas A&M University, and after some time transferred to Southern Methodist University, where she earned her Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Public Relations. Her fun-loving and generous spirit always attracted other people, and she made many dear friends during her time at SMU as well. Lockett’s professional years were primarily spent working at her parents’ business in Montgomery County, where she assisted with collections and the convention set-up side of the business.

From the time Lockett was a young girl, she adored horses. She was also a gifted athlete in many areas and played on the tennis team during high school. She enjoyed spending time outdoors, especially in the mountains and by the sea. Her favorite vacations involved skiing, hiking, horseback riding, or swimming in the ocean. Lockett was a loyal friend and loved nothing more than sitting back and enjoying good conversation, music, and late-night snacks. She was her father’s daughter, and she missed him dearly after his passing.

Lockett is preceded in death by her beloved father, Billy Wood (2020). Lockett leaves behind her mother, Janice Wood and brother, William Wood, his wife, Elizabeth, and their children, Alexandra and Baker.
