Edward S. Goodwin
Edward S. “Bud” Goodwin passed away peacefully Monday, August 16, 2021, in The Madison Center.
A son of the late John Emery and Ruby Iona Everly Goodwin, Bud was born and raised in Morgantown, W.Va.
He married the love of his life, Helen Georgette Coburn, March 6, 1955, after returning home from his service as a radio operator with the HQ CO 39TH INF REGT during the Korean War.
Bud retired from his position of Vice President with First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Greene County after 30 years. Bud was also instrumental in opening First Greene Mortgage in Morgantown.
Bud’s greatest accomplishment, in his eyes, was his unwavering love for his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and extended family. He was a Lion, fierce and completely unashamed to show each one of us how love looked and felt. Bud was a devoted husband and tirelessly cared for his wife, Helen until she passed March 26, 2010.
He is survived by his son, Edward S. “Spencer” Goodwin II; daughter Molly (Dave) Burrow; grandchildren Nicole Davis (Justin Grow), Dawn (Mitch) Liston, Andrea Stoneking (Bryan Kenyon), Georgette Goodwin (Zachary Bloom), Edward S. “Eddie” Goodwin III, Tiffany Burrow and Ryan Burrow; great-grandchildren Brighton, Kayden, Nicholas, Ruby, Kaleb and Lincoln; along with many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bud donated his body to the WVU Human Gift Registry so there will not be services or viewings.
