Goodson, Mary A., age 89, left this earth and went to her heavenly reward on June 8, 2018. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas N. Goodson and her two sons, Thomas Mark Goodson and David Newton Goodson. She is survived by her daughter, Tina Goodson, a host of nieces and nephews and all the ones that she unofficially adopted over the years. A Christian for 73 years, Mrs. Mary was known as the candy lady at church and supplied candy to several generations. She loved children very much and was a Sunday School teacher for many years. Mrs. Mary loved to cook and wanted to feed all those around her. She was the wind beneath her daughter’s wings, an angel that will be deeply missed. From her favorite movie she reminded us, she was a lady “and a lady always knows when it’s time to go.”
