Willie Arthur Simmons “Bill” Goodwin was born February 25, 1917, to the late Earnest Simmons and Mary Goodwin. Bill had two siblings: Juanita and Catherine who preceded him in death. Bill departed this earthly life on September 7, 2017.
Bill accepted Christ as his Savior and shared his spirit of love at Walton Chapel Methodist Church where he served faithfully. He was loved and had many friends. He was known to lay under the trees in his yard. People would stop by and sit and talk for hours. Bill’s passion was hunting and fishing.
