Clora came to know the Lord at an early age and became a longstanding member of Longstreet Baptist Church. Clora was united in Holy Matrimony with Dock Williams who passed away in 1997. She retired from Striffler-Hamby Mortuary in the late 1980’s. Clora loved cooking for family and family gatherings. She enjoyed being in her yard working with her potted plants and keeping her yard pristine.
Clora was preceded in death by her parents, Lonnie and Bessie Goodwin; two sisters, Sallie Starr and Alma Goodwin; five brothers: Bennie Goodwin, Ozie Goodwin, Homer Goodwin, Lonnie Goodwin, Jr. and Henry Goodwin; and her only daughter, Bonnie Goodwin Veasley.
