Rosezell “Rose” Chapmond Goughnour, 86, of El Paso, peacefully joined our Lord and Savior on Saturday morning, September 2, 2023, in Elgin, surrounded by her loving family. Rose was born the fourth of five children, on January 20, 1937, to the late Charles and Vergie Chapmond in Buckville, Arkansas.
Rose worked as the Director of Resource Management for the U.S. Army, where she served 32 years at Fort Bliss, accumulating numerous awards before retiring with the rank of GS11. Her love for traveling took her various places around the world, including France, Germany, Denmark, Canada, and Mexico.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Leonard Goughnour; her son, Michael Hunt; her brothers, Lloyd and John Chapmond; and her sister, Helen Anderson.
She gifts her cherished memories to her two sons, Phillip Hunt and wife Beverly and Mark Hunt and wife Patricia; 11 grandchildren, Phillip Hunt Jr, Elizabeth Hunt, David Hunt, Amy Hunt, Travis Hunt, Casey Hunt and wife Danielle, Kayla and husband Brian Dyck, Caden Hunt, Joshua Hunt, Cheyenne Hunt, and Timothy Hunt; five great-grandchildren, Seth Ladage, Tamara Ladage, Aryana Ladage, Casey Hunt Jr, and Luke Hunt; her sister, Charlene Moseley; and numerous extended family and dear friends.
Her last prayer was for every family member to have a close relationship with Jesus and to remain on the narrow path of the Lord.
