Bio
Margaret Ann "Myrt" Goodin passed away on November 4, 2024, in Longview, Texas, surrounded by her loved ones after fighting a valiant seven-year battle with COPD. She was 78 years old. Myrt was one of seven children born on September 9, 1946, in Archer City, Texas, to Roy P. Loftis and Eleanor Lucille Prater. She attended school in Archer City, and in 1964 left school to marry her husband, John Goodin of Kilgore. They were married for 53 years until his death in 2017. Myrt was a homemaker while her children were young, then after they were older, she attended night school and earned her GED. She worked for a time at Movies and Sounds in Kilgore and Kennedy Gourmet. Myrt cherished the moments spent with her loved ones, loved family gatherings, going fishing, and being outside. Since the 1980's she and her close friends, Diana Ponder, Sharon Robinson, Darlene Sanders, and Pat Gaddy played penny ante poker every Thursday, until COVID in 2019 stopped their weekly games. Myrt had an independent spirit and a fierce determination that was unequaled. She never quit or gave up. Myrt is preceded in death by her parents, husband, and sisters Lillian Belyeu, Judy Conder Elliott, Jeannie Carriger, and brother Billy Loftis.
