He leaves to cherish his memories a daughter  Nancy Brumfield, husband Mike and son Donnie, wife Carole, grandchildren Maisie Goodlett, Ashley Hartley, husband Jeff, Eswin Brumfield, Rachel Goodlett, Cole Goodlett, and his favorite grand-fur babies Beau and Daisy.  He was preceded in death by brothers David, Donald, Jr., James, and sister Linda Ann.  A Remembrance  Service will be 1:00 PM on Thursday, Feb. 27, at Hager & Cundiff Funeral Home, officiated by Leon's brother, Rev. Cleo Goodlett. Leon and Imogene will be laid to rest together in Maple Grove Cemetery following the Service.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday Feb. 26, beginning at 4:00 PM  and ending at 8:00 PM. “In sorrow at death but in gratitude for life, we now say our farewells to Leon and are thankful for the opportunity to have had him in our lives for the person he was and cherish the person who gave his care, concern, and the completeness you found in living a simple life”. The family suggests contributions be made to Bluegrass Care Navigators in his memory.

Hager & Cundiff values nothing more than the trust given to us by the Goodlett family.
