Services for the ever popular Pat Goins are today

For decades, Goins came in contact with thousands of us either at Balloff’s and/or at Riggs

LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF)- Pat Goins, who was a La Follette staple for decades, passed away on Sunday.

Many of us grew up and went to school with her daughters, and she helped lots as we shopped at Balloff’s Department Store and/or Riggs Drug over the years. Pat was a people person through and through.

Receiving of friends is from noon until 2pm today at Walters Funeral Home with the funeral service at 2pm. Interment follows at Bakers Forge Cemetery.

If you didn’t know Pat Goins by name, you certainly knew her face and friendly smile.

Pat Goins was 90 years old. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-08/06/2025-6AM)
