Reda Good

Reda Good, 82, of Brazil, Indiana, formerly of Morehead, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Reda was born on June 2, 1942, in Rowan County, Kentucky, a daughter of the late Earl Blankenbeckler and Gladys Lambert Blankenbeckler. On May 18, 1957, she married her childhood sweetheart, William Goodman. Together, they were blessed with seven children: Roy Mitchell Goodman (Debbie), Warren Goodman, Robert “Oscar” Goodman, Shelia Michael, Pat Goodman (Rhonda), Rebecca Norman (Perry), and Melissa Harpham (Mike).

Many years later, Reda met a wonderful man, John Good, and they were married on October 17, 1987. John and Reda remained devoted to one another and their blended family until John’s passing on December 30, 2008. Stepsons Kenneth Good (Deceased), Mickey Good (Debbie) and Terry Good (Jackie) and their children shared a close bond with Reda.

Reda’s greatest joy was her family, which included twenty-four loving grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren whom Reda loved to the moon and back, as well as, two surviving sisters she cherished, Marie (Loren) Myers and Pauline Arnold. Reda treasured time spent with them and was known for her bright smile and kind heart.

Reda was a woman of many talents. She taught herself the art of upholstery, loved gardening, sewing, cooking and crafts, often sharing the fruits of her labor with family and friends. Despite facing significant health challenges, her faith in her Lord remained strong.

Reda was preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Gladys Blankenbeckler; her first husband, William Goodman; her second husband, John Good; and her children Warren Goodman, Robert “Oscar” Goodman, and Shelia Michael, as well as, two sisters and five brothers.

Graveside service and burial will be conducted at 1:00 P.M. Saturday, March 29, 2025 at the Bryant-Goodman Cemetery at Elliottville, Kentucky.

The Michael R. Gray Funeral Home at 808 Old Flemingsburg Road in Morehead is caring for all arrangements for Reda Good.
