d. November 29, 2018

Mrs. Goforth was born April 4, 1933 in Montgomery County, the daughter of the late Lex Poole and the late Stella Kelly Poole. She was a loving mother whose first priority was her relationship with God. She valued people over materialistic things. She was a homemaker and an avid gardener with a proverbial green thumb.

She enjoyed quilting and was an excellent seamstress.
