Bay Windows has learned that Woody Woodward, an icon of Boston Pride and a founder of the motorcycle club Moving Violations succumbed to cancer early Saturday morning.
Woodward was best known each year for leading the Pride Parade with Moving Violations. She routinely distinguished herself by sporting a rainbow-colored mohawk in the parade.
During Boston Pride Week last year, Mayor Thomas Menino declared June 7, 2008 Woody Woodward Day in the city, in recognition of Woodward's many years of work for organizations focused on HIV/AIDS, breast cancer and other causes. Woodward was also a longtime volunteer for Boston Pride.
We will have the full story next week.
