Glenda Goodwin

Glenda Myra Goodwin, 85, of Nederland, went to be with the Lord on Friday, September 2, 2022. She was born March 26, 1937, in Port Arthur, to Mary Bernice Ozio Fawvor and Maurice Wilson Fawvor.

Glenda worked several jobs and had many roles throughout her life, but her favorite title was simply, “Grandma”. She became known as Grandma to everyone, not just family, and her house was the place to be if you needed a hug, warm smile, or maybe just a listening ear. She loved deeply and always sacrificed greatly on behalf of others.

Grandma had a passion for serving and doing for others, and most of all, wanted people to know the saving power of Jesus. She knew that this life was more about the destination than the journey.

Grandma was happiest when she was surrounded by those she loved, especially when she was on one of her famous (and meticulously planned) family vacations. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as much as anyone could. Grandma always knew how to care and stand up for those who needed it most. She will forever be treasured, rightfully celebrated, remembered fondly, and incredibly missed.

Survivors include her children, Markley Goodwin and wife, Reba Jo and Mary Rogers; grandchildren, Kevin Goodwin; Jacob Rogers and wife, Audrey; Michael Goodwin and wife, Marley; James Rogers and wife, Katie; Jennifer Brandhorst and husband, James; Markley Rogers and wife, Michelle; Kirby Dulaney and wife, Venessa; B.J. Dulaney and wife, Susannah; and Lena Daws and husband, Judson; great-grandchildren, Colbie Goodwin; Callie Goodwin; Mason Goodwin; Hattie Rogers; Charley Rogers; Wilson Rogers; Emma Sacramento; Sebastian Sacramento; Ellie Jane Rogers; Lane Brandhorst; Lakelyn Brandhorst; Kyler Dulaney; Ember Dulaney; Macy Dulaney; Amelia Dulaney; Patrick Dulaney; Dainen Daws; and Nora Daws.

She is preceded in death by her parents and husband of sixty-two years, William Lloyd Goodwin.
