Paul Godwin
'Ronnie'
IRON STATION -- Mr. Godwin went to be with his Lord and Savior in Heaven on March 12, 2012. He passed away surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer.
Mr. Godwin was a hard-working, loving husband, father and grandfather. He found joy and happiness in family and everyday life. He always made time for those in need. He was devoted to his wife of 45 years, had a heart of gold, and offered her absolute unconditional love. He never met a stranger, stood strong for his family, and truly blessed so many lives.
