Eunice Hardy Goodwin
May 22, 2016
Eunice passed away in the early morning of May 20, 2016. Eunice was born to Samuel and Lennie Hardy in Bell Fountain, AL. She was raised in Muscogee. Eunice was the only girl out of five children, all of whom preceded her in death. She attended Tate High School until the tenth grade when she left to take employment at Woolworth Five & Dime in Pensacola. Eunice married her childhood sweetheart, A.J. (Dude) Goodwin. They went on to raise seven children. Five sons, Ronnie (Collie) Goodwin, Donnie Goodwin, Bobby Goodwin, Larry (Doris) Goodwin and Eddie Goodwin; two daughters, Faye (Mike) Dees and Brenda (Terry) Bagwell. She is also survived by 14 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
Eunice was a devoted wife and loving mother. She was sure to always serve her family hot, home cooked meals every day and kept a spotless home. Eunice and Dude’s son, Bobby, was injured in an automobile accident in 1972 at age of 21, leaving him a quadriplegic. Eunice lovingly devoted her life to caring for Bobby until his death in 2012, at the age of 61. Bobby’s life expectancy exceeded the 20 years predicted to 40 years due to her excellent care. Eunice is also survived by many cousins, nephews and nieces and special friends. She will be dearly missed by family and all the friends in her life.
Eunice is preceded in death by her husband, “Dude” and two sons, Donnie and Bobby.
The family would like to thank the staff of Emerald Coast Hospice for their wonderful care and support during this trying time. Due to their help, mother was allowed to be cared for and remain at her home she so loved until her death. Also, a special thanks to Emil Arnold and Walker Arnold.
