Mrs. Ruby Faye Goodwin Beasley, better known as Faye, age 89, of Winfield passed away Monday, December 16, 2024 in Diversicare of Winfield. Faye was born April 10, 1935 to Rufus and Adell Doss Goodwin, the third of six children. A member of the Free Will Baptist Church of Winfield, Faye was proudly one of the oldest members of her beloved church, with one of her favorite things there being Charles Lynn’s Sunday School class. She worked for many years as a cook in the Winfield Hospital, back in a different time when everyone in town ate lunch there. Faye was in church whenever the doors opened, she loved spending time with family, and marathon shopping trips. She would’ve worn a new outfit everyday if she could’ve and she wouldn’t leave the store until she walked every aisle “looking.” But you knew when you saw her, she would always be prim and proper with her ever-present lipstick on. Her great-grandsons were her biggest loves and “Lil Maw” was always spoiling them.

Faye was preceded in death by the love of her life, Virgle Beasley, her parents, sister, Joyce Franks, and brothers, Larry Goodwin, Bunt Goodwin, Ray Goodwin, and Roger Goodwin.
