Carolyn Goodley Obituary

Carolyn F. (Jutz) Goodley, 76, of Millwood, Kentucky, passed away on Friday, January 17, 2025. Carolyn was a caring wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and all around caregiver. She always tried to help anyone in need, no matter the cost to herself. She had an amazing heart and you were lucky if she held you there. She was wild, care free, and lived her life to the fullest. Her humor was like none other and could always put a smile on your face. She was dependable, supportive, and anyone who knew her was blessed. She stood her ground related to her beliefs and was passionate about who or what she loved. She was a fighter and was strong, even until her last breath. She is now resting with her loving husband and family members that she missed so much. She always had a saying, “I love you to the moon and back” and during this time hold that near and remember how she cared. Until we see you again.


She was born on April 17, 1948 in Leitchfield, Kentucky to Fossie and Callie (Green) Carter. She is preceded in death by her Father, Fossie G. Carter, Mother, Callie R. Carter, Husband, Gary Goodley, Siblings, Kenny Carter and Sherry Carter, Friend, William Jutz Sr. 


Carolyn is survived by her loving family, Son, William Jutz Jr.; Granddaughter, Winter (Christian) Kassinger; Siblings, Randy (Nancy) Carter, Jerry (Ann) Carter, Janet (Pete) Lampton, Pat (Roy) Kraemer, and Candy (Charlie) England; Daughter-In-Law, Janice Cox, as well as a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends to cherish her memory forever.


The family will have a celebration of life at a later date.
