William Armstrong

William Armstrong, age 90, of Fultondale, AL, was called home on July 24, 2026. He lived life with so much joy and would do anything for anyone. He loved hunting, fishing, working on cars, playing the guitar, and singing. He also enjoyed showing off his three Volkswagens and spending his free time at car shows. He enjoyed everything about nature and being outside, appreciating the beauty and wonder of all of God’s creations. More than anything, he loved being with his family, teaching his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren everything he knew about life with many stories along the way. He also lived a life dedicated to serving others, which included his work in maintenance at St. Vincent’s Hospital, where he retired after 28 years of service. He leaves behind his beloved wife of 69 years, Judith Armstrong. Their love story is one you would find written in fairytales. He is survived by his two daughters, Kathy Goodwin (Rodger) of Tarrant, AL; Debra Turner (Mike) of Trussville, AL; and his Grandchildren: Zachary Goodwin (Cassidy), Michael Turner (Ashley), Matison Terry (Sam), and Morgan Gooch (Darian). His great-grandchildren: Brooklyn Turner, Atticus Goodwin, Zander Turner, Zayne Turner, Adasynn Gooch, Saylor Horton, Beatrix Goodwin, Harper Gooch, and Everly Terry. He is also survived by his siblings Susie Swann and Helen Oden, and his Brother-in-law Tracy Baines, along with a host of Nieces, Nephews, Cousins, and Friends. He is preceded in death by his parents, Alvin Edward Armstrong and Mary Elizabeth Armstrong; his siblings Benjamin Armstrong and his wife Faye; Mary Baines; Shelvia Motte and her husband Frank; and his brother-in-law Eugene Oden. A visitation will be held at 10:00 am on Monday, July 27, 2026, with a Celebration of Life to follow at 11:00 am at New Horizon Memorial Gardens in Dora, AL.
