She is survived by her beloved son, Andrew (Andy) Garrett Goodwin; her brother, Rex Blackburn; her beloved nieces and nephews; as well as her special friends Theresa Walters, George Overby, and many others.
Above all else, Kathy’s greatest joy and deepest love in life was her son, Andy. He describes his mother as a strong, independent, and patient woman who worked tirelessly to raise him and guide him into becoming a Christian man. Kathy was known for her strong will, hard work, humor, and her capacity to love deeply and without hesitation.
Faith was the foundation of Kathy’s life. She believed Jesus Christ was her Lord and Savior and made it her mission to instill that same faith in her son. She lived by simple but powerful principles: to give her worries to Jesus, to love the Lord with all her heart, to help others whenever possible, to choose to see the best in people, to be forgiving, hardworking, kind, loving, and to laugh often.
Kathy’s life was marked by resilience, devotion, and love for her family and friends. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens. A time to be born and a time to die. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from the beginning to the end. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it.” Ecclesiastes 3 NIV
A memorial and interment service will be held at Whitmire Cemetery in Pensacola, Florida in the near future.
Mark Allen Trotter
June 24, 2026
With broken hearts, we share that Mark Allen Trotter, 65, of Molino, Florida, went home to be with the Lord on June 18, 2026, with his loving family by his side. Born on December 18, 1960, in Pensacola, Florida, Mark was the son of the late Sam and Betty Trotter.
Mark was the devoted husband and lifelong partner of Debbie “Nana Doo” Trotter, with whom he shared 35 years of love, laughter, and unwavering companionship. Together they built a home filled with faith, family, and countless memories that will be cherished forever.
At 18 years old, Mark began working in production at Armstrong World Industries before later joining the maintenance department, where he faithfully served a total of 37 years. His strong work ethic, honesty, and dependability earned the respect of everyone who worked alongside him.
Mark loved the simple joys of life. He found peace with a fishing pole in his hand, music playing in the background, and the sun on his face. He enjoyed being outdoors, especially working in the yard and tending to beautiful flowers, always finding ways to make the world around him a little more bright and welcoming.
Above all else, Mark loved his family. He was a man of deep faith who loved God and tried to live that out in the way he treated others—with kindness, generosity, and a big heart that was always ready to help anyone he could. He was an honest man, a steady and loving husband, a wonderful father, a loyal friend, and an amazing “Papa Doo” to his four grandsons. He was a proud grandfather and never missed a chance to brag on his boys.
Our lives are forever changed for the better because we were loved by Mark. Though we will miss him more than words can express, we take comfort in knowing he is in the presence of God and reunited with his grandson Kam (Junebug). We know they are together again.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents, Sam and Betty Trotter, and his beloved grandson, Kameron Smith.
He is survived by his wife, Debbie “Nana Doo” Trotter; his children, Kimberly Smith (Timothy Maier) and Kris McDonald; and his grandchildren, Tristan Smith, Kaden McDonald, and Sawyer Maier. He also leaves behind many extended family members and dear friends who will forever treasure the memories they made with him.
Pallbearers will be Tristan Smith, Kaden McDonald, Timothy Maier, Greg Skipper, Clint Smith, and Craig McNair. Honorary pallbearer will be Jimmie Coleman.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses and staff who cared for Mark with such tenderness and compassion. At Sacred Heart, nurses Alura, Brandi, and the many others who stood by Mark and Debbie showed a level of love, kindness, and prayerful support that will never be forgotten. At UF Shands, Willie, AJ, Candice, Christina, and the rest of the nursing team cared for him as if he were their own family, surrounding him with patience, gentleness, and hope. The love, care, and prayers from these special nurses God placed in his path will always be remembered with deep appreciation.
Though Mark’s time with us feels far too short, the love, laughter, and memories he gave us will remain in our hearts forever.
From Debbie’s heart:
“You were my soulmate and the love of my life. I will love you to the day after forever. Forever yours, Nana Doo.”

Lori Kay Mosley
June 20, 2026
Lori Kay Mosley, 64, of Pensacola, FL passed away unexpectedly Sunday morning June 14, 2026. She is at peace, reunited in paradise with her parents and best friend Beth.
She was born May 11, 1962, in Nashville, TN to most Loving parents, Randall and Joyce Johnson. The family moved to Pensacola in 1963.
Lori worked at Emergency Medical Services as an administrative assistant for 30 years, then moved to the County Road Department for an additional 5 years before retiring.
After retirement Lori enjoyed dog/house sitting for several close friends. She was also an avid reader spending countless hours immersed in her romance books. But the thing that brought her the most joy and happiness was “My Boy” her nephew Owen Henderson, known by him as “LaLa,” and the time they spent together! She was also pretty fond of her brother-in-law “Normie” her part-time handyman and master fish fryer.

Lori is survived by her sister, Julie (Norman) Cotten; Nephew Owen (Naeomi) Henderson; aunts, an uncle and cousins. Having a very special bond with her “favorite cousin” Amanda Johnson Young.
While Lori had many friends, she had a special friendship with Robin Wilkes for over 45 years, who was just like a sister to her. She also had two amazing neighbors, Melody and Lisa, that were a big comfort to her over these last few years.
Lori was a bright light until the hard knocks of her life got the best of her, and it became just too hard for her body to go on. But the light that was Lori Kay, only seen by those closest to her, could not go out and not be acknowledged.
So, we will have a remembrance get together, Saturday, June 27th, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at 5031 Regalo Drive to share memories and laughter. I loved my only sister with all my heart and wished every day I could heal her pain.
I miss her so!
