Resita Ann Goodson

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Resita Ann Goodson on April 27, 2026, at her cherished home in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Resita's life was a testament to her deep devotion to family, her community, and her faith. She was a beloved mother to her children, Garrett (Jessica) Hutchins and Eunice Hutchins, and a treasured grandmother to nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her laughter and warmth were the cornerstones of her family gatherings, especially during summer barbecues, where her presence was both a comfort and a joy. Resita was predeceased by her parents, Lula Mae and Richard Hutchins, and is survived by her loving husband, Bobby Goodson.

Resita was a proud alumna of Northside High School and dedicated 23 years of her professional life to the Fort Wayne Newspapers, where she was respected for her commitment and work ethic. Her passion for shopping and fine dining was well known, but her true joy lay in the simple pleasures of life—cherishing every moment with her family and friends. Her faith was an integral part of her life, guiding her with prayer and instilling in her a spirit of hope and compassion that she shared with everyone she met. Her legacy is one of love, laughter, and an unwavering commitment to her family.
