1928-2026
Fleta Goodall, lovingly known as “Suga Baby”, received her heavenly call on July 6, 2026, at the age of ninety-eight, leaving behind a legacy of devotion, strength, and unwavering faith. Her final homegoing service will be held Friday, August 28, 2026, at Kansas Veterans Cemetery, located at 1208 North College Street, Winfield, KS 67156. She will be laid to rest beside her forever love, Samuel Goodall, Jr.
Born in Venus, Texas, on March 12, 1928, Fleta lived a life filled with purpose and resilience. She worked many jobs throughout her lifetime, but her greatest calling-and her proudest Joy-was raising her ten children, who remained her priority every day of life.
Her love extended across generations, blessing her with a host of Grandchildren, Great-Grandchildren, and Great-Great-Grandchildren, along with nieces and nephews, all of whom cherished her deeply.
Fleta is survived by her beloved brother and last remaining sibling, Preston Shaw, of Wichita, Kansas.
As the matriarch of her family, Fleta filled her home with laughter, wisdom, and unforgettable stories. Long before television ever entered their household, she entertained her children with jokes and tales that became treasured family memories. Her faith guided her every step; to all who knew her, she was the most God-fearing woman they had ever known.
