Mrs. Millie Faye (Bailey) Goodson, daughter of Eulous Felton Bailey and Lou Etta (Hallmark)

Bailey was born May 26, 1937, in Randolph County Alabama. She attended Lanett High School.

She professed her faith in Jesus Christ and joined West Point Church of Christ (Valley Church of

Christ) where she served as an active member.

She was united in holy matrimony to Grady Miles in 1953. Grady passed away, and she

remarried Moore Edward "Ed" Goodson in December of 1957. They had two children, Yvonne

Denise (Chamblee) and Eddie Felton and celebrated 44 years of marriage together.

In the 1962 she moved to Illinois where she was a stay-at-home mom as her small children grew.

In 1971 they moved back to Lanett and soon moved to Opelika where she would spend her

remaining years. After returning to Opelika, she began working at Motherhood Maternity in the

Auburn Mall as a sales associate. Over the years she eventually moved to CATO Fashion where

she continued in sales until her retirement in the 1990s. Her relationship with Christ was as

beautiful as the flowers that she loved to receive, and her influence will forever remain in the

lives of all who knew her. She departed this life, and stepped into the arms of her savior
