Rose Goad

She is survived by her only son, Jeff Goad of Hensley (Dara); two granddaughters, Jayme Goad of Little Rock; Brittney Hall of Rogers (Nathan); brother, Lloyd Kassler of Alexander (Beth); many loving nieces and nephews; great-grandson Layton and expecting great-grandson Larken Hall, along with many family and friends whom she loved dearly.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Henry William Kassler and Louise Bender Kassler; husband James (Jimmy) Goad; five sisters, Margaret Weathers, Katherine Campbell, Lucretia Kassler, Mildred Kassler, Patsy Benton; two brothers, Henry Kassler and Fred Kassler all of Little Rock.

She was a member of Geyer Springs First Baptist Church in Little Rock. She was retired from many years of work at the V.A. hospital where she admitted the first patient to the old hospital.

Rose (Mawmaw) was the most selfless woman anyone ever had the privilege of knowing. She enjoyed reading the newspaper each morning, doing the cryptoquote and spending time with her dog Gizmo.

She loved The Lord and lived each day for Him. She always said, "It's about that time," each night before bed. On Wednesday, March 4, 2015, God said it was "her time."

Visitation will be held Sunday, March 8, 2015 at Griffin Leggett Forest Hills Funeral Home. 10200 Hwy 5 N, Alexander, AR from 3pm-5pm. A graveside service celebrating her life will be held Monday, March 9, 2015 at Forest Hills Memorial Park at 10:00am.

Donations in her name can be made to The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy.
