Loving mother and homemaker in the truest sense, community and church leader, and our beloved Nana, Joetta Goins Edelen passed away in Conroe, Texas on July 25, 2022 at the age of 88. Born on September 12, 1933 in Ada, Okla. to parents Elbert and Dorothy Goins. Joetta grew up in Ada with brother Bob and sister D'etta, moving to McAlester, Okla. where she graduated high school. After completing an Associates degree at Oklahoma State University, Joetta transferred to Houston with Conoco where she met and married fellow Oklahoman and soulmate Don Edelen. There she embarked on her 65 year journey building home and family.
Joetta is survived by her four children, Greg, Roger, Scott, and Dana; their spouses; and seven grand-children Kelsey, Sabrina, Hunter, April, Lucy, Reagan, and Rachel. She will be forever remembered as the foundation of her family and a loving and joyous presence to all who crossed her path.
