Beulah Arlene Gooden

Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother, Beulah Arlene Gooden went home to be with our Lord, from her home of 64 years, on Thursday, October 5, at the age of ninety-five. Among her greatest passions were gardening, walking around her backyard trail, making quilts, and traveling to beautiful places. However, most of all, she was a loving and generous Mama, Memaw, and Nana to all of us. She never missed a birthday, recital, game, school event, or any family celebration. Her family was her greatest joy, and her faith was her greatest strength. Beulah was preceded in death by her husband, Clifford Ray Gooden and son-in-law, Tommy Allmon. She is survived by her daughters, Gail Allmon, and Tanya Easterly (Craig), granddaughter, Daphne Jackson (Sam), grandsons, Jacob Easterly, and Andrew Easterly (Chelsea), and great-grandsons, Noah Jackson (age 15) and Cohen Easterly (age 10 months). The family will receive friends on Monday, October 9, 2023 from 5:30 PM until 7:00 PM in Smith’s Trinity Chapel. Family and friends will assemble at Centenary Cemetery, 1164 Centenary Church Road Maryville, Tennessee 37803, at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 for a graveside service.  Smith Funeral & Cremation Service 865-983-1000 www.smithlifeandlegacy.com
