Mrs. Goodman had a strong faith in the Lord and infectious spirit. She enjoyed attending Bible study and faithfully prayed for others. She always put the well-being of others before herself, which showed in the many ways she volunteered. She was an avid supporter of Susan G. Komen events. She was both an athlete and coach for many sports over the years. She was most proud to be the coach of many cheerleading squads over the past nine years and also to be the loudest "cheerleading aunt." She enjoyed crafting, camping, running, and playing sand volleyball. She also enjoyed playing cards, especially BUNCO and hanging out with the "Peanut Gang." For the past five years, she had worked at Winamac Coil Spring which she affectionately referred to as her home away from home. Most of all she was proud to be a wife and mother. She will be dearly missed forever by her family and friends.
