She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Foster Higdon and Sallie Crawford Higdon of Franklin, her husband of 59 years, Silas "Nat" Goodwin and her beloved daughter, Lynda Faye Goodwin both of Franklin. She is survived by her daughter, Sallie Goodwin Conley (Dennis) of Franklin and her grandchildren Stefanie Conley of Sylva and Ryan Conley of Franklin. Ellen was a housewife by her choice. She was raised in Franklin until moving to Massachusetts after finishing 6th grade with her parents. Her life there involved swimming across lakes and playing girl's half-court basketball in high school. She was an avid dancer and knew all the "50's" dances. She met her future Air Force husband at Cape Cod where he was stationed. She was 17 and he was 19. They traveled to AF bases in US, Germany, and Philippines. She raised her two daughters during those years and then moved to Franklin upon her husband's retirement. They became members of First Baptist Church. She was active in her Sunday school class and church choir. She volunteered in the gift shop at Angel Hospital. Her first love was her family. She was extremely loyal and supportive especially to her two grandchildren, Stefanie and Ryan. Her grandson lovingly called her The Nana. Upon her husband's passing she traveled with her daughter and son-in-law to several National Rural Letter Carrier Association State and National Conventions and watched many WCU basketball games at Western. Her life was full and interesting. She blessed everyone she met with her beautiful smile. A graveside service will be held at 2pm Sunday, April 25, 2021 at Higdonville Baptist Church Cemetery for family and friends. Rev. Steve Reeves will officiate. Pallbearers are Mike Lamontagne, Mitch Nidiffer, Calvin Conley , Russell McConnell, Craig Holland, and Tyler Holland. To represent her love of children, the family requests that donations be made to Love That Surpasses, 3085 Arthur Court, Santa Clara CA 95051. lovethatsurpasses.org.
