Judy was born on November 5, 1938 in Kansas City, Missouri to Loren and Alexina Packer. She was employed as a fraud investigator at AT&T and Southwestern Bell.
Judy loved to sew and often reflected that passion in her quilts and the clothes she made for her family. When her sons became engaged, she offered to make the bridesmaids dresses, and both daughter-in-laws accepted her offer. The last three quilts she made were T-shirt quilts for her husband and two sons. Judy will always be remembered for “planting” fake flowers.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Loren and Alexina Packer, brothers Loren Packer, Bob Packer and Kenny Packer. She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Ed Goold, sons Gary (Diana) Goold and Steve (Debbie) Goold, grandsons Matthew Goold, Tyler Goold, Austin Goold, Dallas Goold, granddaughter Alexina Goold, sister Nancy (Don) Holman and many nieces, nephews and friends.
