Ellen Marie Goger, 89, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2018. She was born on April 28, 1929 in Boring, Oregon to Floyd and Mary (Mickelson) Radford. She grew up in the Boring/Sandy area, and graduated from Sandy High School in 1947.
Ellen married Fred Goger on September 23, 1950, in Pleasant Home, Oregon. They had two children: Glenda and Allan “Skip”. Fred passed away in August of 1996.
Ellen loved being an Oregonian, and she appreciated the beautiful nature and greenery. She fed the birds and squirrels outside of her home, had a beautiful garden, and enjoyed arranging flowers. She was quite crafty, and she enjoyed sewing, cake decorating and collecting teddy bears (for which she would sew clothes). She was witty, creative, energetic and “a little vain”. She will be dearly missed.
Ellen is survived by her daughter, Glenda Fornshell (Bob) and son, Allan “Skip” Goger (Chloe Wray); her brother, Edwin Radford and sister, Annette Radford; as well as 2 nieces, 1 nephew and several honorary children and grandchildren.
A Celebration of Ellen’s life will be held on Saturday, July 7, 2018, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the Sandy Community Center (Also known as the Sandy Senior Center), located at 38348 Pioneer Boulevard, Sandy, OR 97055. Per Ellen’s request, please wear bright colors to her Celebration of Life.
