Harold Goodwin Obituary

Harold Mark Goodwin, Jr
October 19, 1934 - May 1, 2022
Columbia, South Carolina - A memorial service for Harold Mark Goodwin, Jr will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, May 6 at St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Irmo, SC. The family will receive friends at 10 a.m. prior to the service.
Mark, 87, was born in Marietta, GA on October 19, 1934 to the late Susie Mae Hayes Goodwin and Harold Mark Goodwin, Sr. He was an Eagle Scout and ran track at Marietta High School. He served two years in the Navy on the USS Coral Sea. He was a cheerleader at Auburn University and graduated in 1960 with a B.A. in English. After graduating he married his wife Georgia and taught English and coached football and cross-country at Marietta High School. In 1964 he joined the FBI and was a Special Agent for 22 years, both in Youngstown, OH and Columbia, SC. He then worked for Stone Container Corporation as the head of security and retired a second time from there.
He was always helping anyone he knew of who needed it in practical ways big and small and had endless energy. His wife, his children and their families meant everything to him. More than anything he was grateful to know God and serve Him. He was an active member of St Andrews Presbyterian Church in Irmo, SC.
Surviving are his wife of almost 62 years, Georgia D. Goodwin; son, Sam Goodwin (Lizzie) of Columbia, SC; daughters, Susan Moffitt (Dwight) of Columbia, SC, Catherine Gutshall (Mike) of Columbia, SC and Mimi Edwards (Jay) of Easley, SC; 12 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

One year I stumbled upon Georgia's birthday on the very day so I called her to wish her Happy B-day. I asked if she had any special plans and she told me she didn't know but that before she'd gotten up Mark had already been out to get her flowers & make her breakfast. That will always be my favorite memory of Mark. Just doing before others knew they needed or wanted something. Demonstrating love in tangible quiet ways was Mark!
