Sharon (Susie) Gooding (Bolivar)'s Obituary
Sharon Sue (Susie) Gooding, a super wonderful wife, grandmother, great-grandmother, and mom, went to meet her Jesus about 6:00 P.M. on January 22, 2020. Susie had many trials and tribulations in her 72 years on this old planet. Susie has lost two of her children, suffered an aneurysm in 1998, several strokes after that, and was stricken with Alzheimer’s in 2013. (All after putting up with an ornery husband for 50 years) Susie loved the Lord with all her heart and her might. Her grandchildren were the second most important thing in her life. She loved church, all her wonderful church family, the singing, praying, good food, and yes, (she fit that ornery old husband in there somewhere). Everyone she seemed to meet loved her just for her. Susie prayed and requested prayer for her wayward children and grandchildren daily. She wanted her (WHOLE) family to serve the Lord and be faithful to church.
Even after the Alzheimer’s disease started to really affect her, she didn’t seem to complain that much. It seemed to me that she was accepting her fate, although I mourned for her daily. Susie loved me and I loved her so very much, right to the bitter end, (even though I AM that ornery old husband).
Susie is survived by three remaining children, Donna, Tamzie and Ricky, 17 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren, and Donald, her husband of 52 years. My wonderful, wonderful, wife.
