Kay, as she was more commonly referred to, grew up in Sweetwater, TX. She loved her Class of ’53 Mustangs and attended her class reunions until 2019. She was so proud of her west Texas roots.
Dr. Goad attended Howard Payne University and finished her education at Texas Woman’s University where she earned her Masters of Education and Doctorate of Philosophy. She began teaching history and world geography in 1971 for the HEB School District until her retirement in 1991. Upon retiring, she took a position as Principal for CCA in Venus, Texas until 2001. Because her passion was the classroom, she began substitute teaching for HEB in 2003, taught at St. Vincent’s Episcopal School, Le Cordon Bleu, Faith Christian and Le Tourneau University.
Kay is preceded in death by her loving son Ronald Kevin Goad. She is survived by her husband of 66 years, Jerry Ronald Goad, daughter, Celia Jones Scroggins and husband Mark, her baby brother whom she loved more than life, Dr. Van D. Hill and wife Anne and daughter-in-law Mary Jane Goad. Kay or "Honey" as she was affectionately called is also survived by her grandsons Jeremy C. Jones, Corey J. Jones and wife, Alyssa, and their son Benjamin and Harrison C. Goad and fiancé, Jamie Sager. She is also survived by numerous nieces and nine great-grandchildren.

Kay lived her life to the fullest and it showed through her love for her family, friends, students and Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior.
