Bill > J00749

This resolution mourns the passing of Alice Mae Goodson, a 100-year-old distinguished citizen from Brooklyn, New York, who died on March 12, 2025. Originally from Moultrie, Georgia, Goodson was a former high school basketball star who moved to New York in 1944 and became a beloved community figure. The resolution highlights her life of service, including working in factories, caring for children in her neighborhood, and being a devoted member of the Washington Temple Church Of God In Christ, where she eventually became a Church Mother. Goodson was known for her open home on Franklin Avenue, where she welcomed family, church members, and community people in need. She was survived by five children, 11 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and three great-great-grandchildren. The resolution honors her compassionate spirit, commitment to her community, and lasting legacy of love and service, and formally resolves to pause in legislative deliberations to mourn her death and transmit a copy of the resolution to her family.
