Lois Zimmer Goodwin

Lois Zimmer Goodwin, born February 11, 1930 passed from this life into Heaven's flower garden on April 28, 2016. She was preceded in death by her father and mother, Roy Zimmer and Hattie Gibbons Zimmer; a brother Charles Zimmer; a sister Helen Reutz; a baby girl; and a grandson Clay Goodwin. She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Fay Goodwin; sons Allan (Darce), David, and Dale Goodwin; granddaughters; Sheryl Wales (Trafton), Krystle Hall (Jason), and Lindy Goodwin; and four great grandchildren, Anika and Wesley Wales; and Hayden and Madison Hall; a niece Freda Reutz; a nephew Freddy Reutz; and extended family, Debra Harvey and son Derek. She has also left behind nieces, nephews, and many friends. Mom and Pop set the standard for what marriage should be. Together they worked by side for many years running Goodwin & Sons Gro. They lived through good times but also hard and sad times and still had a great love for each other. She loved her little boys with all her heart and was able to enjoy all of her grandchildren and great grands. She also loved her birds and flowers. She had a knack for making things grow. We would tease her about being able to make a rock grow! Mom had a dry sense of humor and also a way of making us do things without us even knowing it. As the matriarch of our family, she will be sorely missed by all. Mom was a member of Martindale Baptist Church for over 65 years. She enjoyed working in VBS and with the children. Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Martindale Baptist Church. Graveside services will be 9 a.m. Monday at Pinecrest Memorial Park. Arrangements are under the direction of Roller-Chenal Funeral Home (501-224-8300). Memorials may be made to Arkansas Baptist Children's Home; 10 Remington Dr, Little Rock, Ark. 72204.
