Mary Esther Kramer Goodman, departed this life on Sunday, February 23, 2025, in Searcy, Arkansas, at the Unity Health Advanced Care Hospital. She was born on August 9, 1942, in Rosie, Arkansas, to Cecil Clyde “Jack” Kramer and Genevieve Hazelrigg Kramer.
After many years of working as a beloved receptionist, she retired from Pepsi Cola Corporate in Memphis, Tennessee.
She was a wonderful singer and happily sang for countless funerals over the years. She loved attending church at Rosie Baptist Church where she was a member for most of her life. If you ever entered her home for a visit she would make sure that you were fed, even if she had to give you the food from her own plate. More than anything, she loved her family!!
Mary is survived by her daughters, Tracy Kennon of Rosie, and Christi Goodman of Rosie. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Gabrielle Hill of Rosie, Dustin (Marylynne) Jones of Oakland, Tennessee, and Conley Richie of Clark, Colorado, and three great-grandchildren, Maceyn, Cameron, and Scarlett.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Rosie Baptist Church on March 22, 2025, at 11:00.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to Rosie Baptist Church or the Arkansas Baptist Children’s Home .
