Mary Sue (Susie Massengaill) Goins, age 76 of Jacksboro TN., left from Fort Sanders Hospital, Knoxville TN. on Monday morning, June 8th, to be with Jesus Christ her Lord for all eternity. She trusted the Lord at an early age and was a member of Woodlake Baptist Church for approximately twenty five years or more. She was owner of several local businesses and a Pre need agent and Funeral Director at Coffey Funeral Home in later life for approximately twenty five years.

She was preceded in death by her parents: James and Susie Massengaill Queener, Sisters: Ellen Massengaill Hollifield, Nancy Massengaill Wilson and Ella Mae Massengaill Webb, Granddaughter: Ashley Goins, Father and Mother-in-law: Opal and Jess Goins.

She is survived by husband: Robert (Bob) Wayne Goins, Children: Billy and wife Ella Goins, Bobby and wife Samantha Goins, Daughter: Shannon Goins Thompson and husband Patrick. Grandchildren: Brittany Heatherly Duncan, Joey and wife Laura Goins, Addison, Bayleigh and Maverick Goins and Damon Thompson, Great Grandchildren: Dawson and Jayden Duncan, Alanna and Alexander Goins, Sisters: Alice Massengaill Hatmaker (her best friend) and Barbara Massengaill Nelson and a host of nieces, nephews and extended family and friends, Special friends: Steve and Marcella Phillips who for the past two years made her laugh so loud she could be heard outside.

Mary Sue was Bob’s beloved wife of 51 years, a devoted and loving mother to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Mary’s father passed away when she was only five years old and she was taught to be hardworking and expected her family and others to be the same. She loved cooking and lawn work where she said she would, “Talk to God.” Being a devout christian who studied her bible, she witnessed to those who cared for her as she lay four years courageously fighting cancer, one of man's dreadful foes. Fun loving, compassionate yet bossy to some she truly was concerned about others souls. She will be dearly missed by her sister-in-law Brenda who had been known to talk long distance as much as 8 hours when troubled for Mary’s encouragement.

A truly special thank you and appreciation to her Doctors, nurses and other staff members who were professional, compassionate and caring to her and each family member. Numerous times throughout the day and night we heard, “Is there anything I can get for you? If you need anything, ask us and we will help.”

Pallbearers: Bobby Goins (son), Billy Goins (son), Casey Hatmaker (nephew), Dewayne Kitts, Ethan Thomas (great nephew), Joey Goins (grandson), Honorary Pallbearers: Robert Baranowsky (Nephew), Grayson Baranowsky (great nephew) and Scotty Webb (nephew)
