Joan Goodson Obituary
JOAN MARGARET GOODSON
May 22, 1935 ~ April 28, 2016
"Joan is remembered by her family
as a feisty gal, who had the sharpest of wit."
Joan Margaret Goodson, 80 years old, passed away peacefully on April 28, 2016 in Vancouver, WA with her family by her side.
She had many talents including sewing, jewelry making and baking. She spent most of her life working as a bartender, and made the best Bloody Mary's around.
Joan is survived by her sons, Raymond and Gregory Schwerdt; her granddaughters, Brittany Sund and Kelsey Lavin; and great-grandson, Nolan.
At Joans request, a private memorial service was held.
The family request in lieu of flowers or cards, please donate to the Ray Hickey Hospice House who provided Joan and her family with the highest quality care, compassion and support during Joans last days.
