Gregory Goldey
1955-2007
LEXINGTON - Gregory T. Goldey, 52, of Winchester, husband of Connie Hardesty, passed away November 29, 2007 after a battle with cancer. Greg was born in Lexington April 26, 1955 to Mary Louise Goldey and Jean D. Goldey. He was a 1973 graduate of Jessamine County High School, a graduate of the University of Kentucky and earned his Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Oklahoma.
Greg’s ideals of peace, justice, and equality permeated the campus at Morehead State University, where he was an associate professor of Government and faculty sponsor of MSU’s College Democrats. He cultivated within his students, colleagues, and everyone whose lives he touched, a sense of gratitude for life and respect for all human beings. Through his words, actions, and compassionate understanding, Greg caused others to create positive change in their own lives. Greg was not an authoritarian in the classroom. He asked his students not to call him “Dr., ” but instead “Greg” or “Goldey.” He didn’t ask that his students believe him, he asked that they listen, read, and think for themselves. He allowed students to open their minds to the critical thinking they had been taught to suppress, and in so doing, gave them the freedom to discover who they are, and who they want to be.
Greg’s peaceful, compassionate soul changed the world not only through his students, but through his family. His feminist ideals and respect for his wife, Connie, created a warm, loving household. He was inspiring, witty, sarcastic, and hilarious. He motivated each of his children to be anything and everything they wanted to be, regardless of age, gender, or ability status.
Greg was a member of social justice organization, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth. He was a member of the Shambhala Meditation Center of Lexington where he embraced their mission of “creating an enlightened society grounded in fearlessness, dignity, and compassion through mindful awareness”. Greg’s compassion and his passion for change will live on through the students he has taught and the people he has inspired.
A devoted husband and father, Greg is preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Elizabeth Anne Corbin Goldey. In addition to his wife, he is survived by daughter, Katie Goldey and two sons, Shelby and Jamie Goldey; parents Louise and Jean Goldey; parents-in-law Patricia and Lee Hardesty; brothers William, Larry and Gary Goldey; sisters-in-laws, Becky and Kristine Goldey, Jeannie, Sharon, and Cindy Hardesty; brothers-in-law Kevin Hardesty; Dave Mueller, Eddie Jacobs, Gary Landers; nieces Emily and Sarah Goldey, Scarlett and Sydney Consalvi; nephews Will, Nicholas, Jacob and Levi Goldey, Christopher Kern, Wyatt Landers, Tyler Consalvi, and Collin Gould.
The family has asked in lieu of flowers that donations be made to Shambhala Meditation Center of Lexington, 315 W. Maxwell St, Lexington, KY 40508
A celebration of life service will take place on Saturday, December 8, 2:00 PM at the Unitarian- Universalist Church of Lexington,
