She will be greatly missed by her family and the many friends, friends of friends, and acquaintances with whom she kept in constant touch with visits, by phone and by mail.” Survivors include her brother Donald Goodman, two loving sons Mark and Barry, daughters-in-law Jamie and Linda, grandchildren Tey, Shea and Ryan, Matt and Cara, and her great-grandchildren.
