Survived by sister and brother-in-law, Rosalie and Keith Walker. December 31, 1949, I married the late David B. Good, III. We leave behind seven of the most caring, sharing, respectful, and responsible children any parents could ever want. They are: Mary Jo Hines (Wayne), Jean Fitzgerald (Dennis), Patricia Cuenin (Greg), “Cathy” Kelley (David), Peggy Good, David “Buddy” Good (Patty), and Michael Good; 20 grandchildren, and 27 great grandchildren, all very special to me! I was truly blessed, loved, comforted, strengthened, and led by God from birth. I have always loved my church, sports, sewing, lately cooking, reading, T.V., coloring, etc. I conducted in home selling parties, did the decennial census twice, plus off and on surveys followed by a permanent part time position doing the Consumer Price Index for the Census Bureau. I was a part time telephone enumerator supervisor plus some field work for The National Association of Departments of Agriculture. I was one of the first female letter carriers in this area. Before working outside the home, I babysat and sewed for people. In my spare time, I worked with children and youth activities at church, started girls' softball for my local community, and played softball until I was almost 60. No flowers please.
