Georgia 'Faye' Goodheart, Beloit
February 13, 1929 - March 09, 2021
Georgia Faye Goodheart, 92, of Beloit passed away Tuesday, March 9th at the Mitchell County hospital.
She was born to parents Elbert W. and Eula Maude (Genson) Morrison in Corning, IA on February 13, 1929. The family moved back to Missouri before she was 2 years old.
Georgia, as she was called when young, grew up on a farm near Plattsburg, MO. She graduated from Plattsburg High School in 1947. After high school she lived and worked in St Joseph, MO including jobs at a candy factory and a factory which made Christmas tree lights.
Faye, as she was called for most of her adult life, moved to Russell, KS and worked as a book keeper at the local Studebaker dealership and later the local Cadillac dealership. It was in Russell that she met William H. Goodheart. They were married September 22, 1956.
After living in Russell, Bill and Faye moved, to follow Bill's career, to Prairie View and Beloit, KS, then to Sioux Falls, SD before moving to Rapid City, SD, where they made their home for 32 years.
Faye was active in her churches, helping with funeral dinners and bible studies, especially at Trinity Lutheran while they lived in Rapid City.
She had a great love and talent for sewing. For many years she made most of her family's clothes, including even Bill's suit coats and pants.
In their retirement Bill and Faye were volunteers with the Pennington County Sheriff's department community volunteer program and they enjoyed a few years traveling in the southwest in their 5th wheel camper during winter months.
In 2010, due to declining health, Bill and Faye moved to the Hilltop Lodge Independent Living facility in Beloit, KS to be closer to family. Faye had been living the last couple of years in the Hilltop Assisted Living facility.
Faye was preceded in death by her husband Bill, in 2012, her parents, her brother Elbert, Jr (Bill) and sister-in-law, Lois (Faye) Morrison.
She is survived by her son Todd (Lisa) of Glen Elder, nieces Sherry Farwell (Howard), Kathy Ralston (Trevor) and Kristy Morrison, and nephew Scott Morrison, all of Kansas City, MO, also in-law nephews and cousins on the Goodheart family side, and many friends in all the places she'd lived.
Memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 7 at the Zion Lutheran Church in Beloit. A graveside service will take place at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Bunker Hill Cemetery in Bunker Hill. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the Summer Kids Cafe.
