Mrs. Linda Hays Goodman Elmore age 80, passed away Friday, December 29, 2023 at her residence in Baileyton, AL.  She was born to William and Nettie Engle Hays on August 21, 1943 in Morgan County, Alabama.  There are no arrangements made at this time. Peck Funeral Home is handling the arrangements.

Mom-Linda was known to most people as “Mamma-Linda”. She started using that name when her first grandson Trey came along. It quickly became the norm for most as she would introduce herself as such, especially when her grandchildren were with her.

She worked most of her career at Redstone Arsenal, where she retired early on. Later she worked for a brief time at Calhoun College and Limestone Correctional Facility in administrative department.

Mom had a love for flowers, plants and hummingbirds. She had plants all over the house and several bird feeders that she could view from her living room windows. When the flowers were in bloom, she would send pictures to everyone, especially the buttercups- she would always say “spring is coming” and send hearts, it was her favorite time of year.

Mom was a strong woman, she had her share of life tragedies by losing parents, a loving husband and a son, but somehow she would always keep the faith that one day she would reunite with them and tell them everything that they had missed over the years, she especially wanted to tell them how proud she was of her children as well as, all of her grandchildren and her newest great grandchild.

Linda (mom) will be deeply missed by everyone.

She was preceded in death by her parents, late husband, Terry Goodman Sr. and one son, William (Billy) Goodman.

Survivors include:

Husband, Bradley Elmore

Son, Terry Goodman Jr. (Katrina)

Daughter, Lori Goodman Glasgow (William)

3 grandchildren

and 1 great grandchild
