Margaret Florence McGoodwin, 88, of Carson City, Nevada, passed away on September 15, 2017. Margaret was born June 20, 1929 in Lone Elm, Kansas to Ed and Bertha Hansen.
Her father worked for the railroad and as a result they lived and traveled the country. In 1950 she married John Williams McGoodwin,Sr., in Henderson Nevada. She graduated in 1951 from the University of Nevada with a teaching degree. She and John had four children, John Jr., Jim, Laura, and Jeff. They moved their family to Lincoln, Arkansas where Margaret taught sixth grade at Lincoln school from 1967 to 1976. They moved back to Carson City, Nevada in 1976, where she opened a flower shop, "Our Flower Shop," with her son John. Margaret enjoyed many activities including bowling, fishing (especially at the Ruby Marshes), and playing pinochle. However, her greatest joy in life was spending time with her kids and grandkids.
Margaret is survived by sons, John McGoodwin of Fayetteville, Ark.., Jim and Darlene McGoodwin of Westville, Jeff McGoodwin of Carson City, Nev. two grandchildren, Mylena Noble and husband Johnathan of Fayetteville, Ark. and Cody Beckerdite of Dayton, Nev. Also, three great-grandchildren, John Noble, Riley Masters and Brooks Noble of Fayetteville, Ark.
She was preceded in death by her husband John McGoodwin Sr., and her daughter Laura (Lolly) Beckerdite.
Margaret was the best of the best, the kind of person that made you think "well I must be a good person if I'm related to her." The family is planning a small Rememberance Celebration for family and close friends.
In lieu of flowers her family requests donations to be made to Alzheimer's Foundation of America at alzfdn.org
