She was the wife of John Woodruff. Her brown sandstone stele was carved by a craftsman known as "The Old Elizabethtown Soul Carver I". Active during the 1720's-30's, his work is distinguished by highly detailed mortality imagery and the use of skull-with-crossbones soul effigies. Mrs. Woodruff's gravestone typically speaks to the Puritanical emphasis on the brevity and fragility of life on earth, but the combination of the cross bones effigy together with an hourglass flanked by doves is a rarely seen arrangement of symbols. Birds have universally been used to represent spirituality since ancient times, and in colonial America, a bird in vines symbolized the soul partaking of celestial food, with the dove a Christian icon of constancy and devotion.
