Jennifer Hale Goodman Obituary

Graduation Year Class of 1986
Date of Passing May 13, 2017
About Jennifer L. “Jen” Goodman, 48, of Winamac, IN went to be with Jesus on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 9:35 PM after bravely fighting a seven year battle with cancer. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family and friends at Pulaski Memorial Hospital in Winamac. She was born on September 8, 1968 in Stoughton, MA to Donald and Jacqueline Waterhouse Hale. Jen was a 1986 graduate of Winamac High School. On August 20, 2005, she married the love of her life Patrick J. Goodman in Plymouth, IN. He survives.



Jen had a strong faith in the Lord and infectious spirit. She enjoyed attending Bible study and faithfully prayed for others. She always put the well-being of others before herself, which showed in the many ways she volunteered. Jen was an avid supporter of Susan G. Komen events. She was both an athlete and coach for many sports over the years. She was most proud to be the coach of many cheerleading squads over the past 9 years and also to be the loudest “cheerleading aunt”. Jen enjoyed crafting, camping, running, and playing sand volleyball. She also enjoyed playing cards, especially BUNCO and hanging out with the “Peanut Gang”.



For the past five years, Jen had worked at Winamac Coil Spring which she affectionately referred to as her home away from home. Most of all she was proud to be a wife and mother. She will be dearly missed forever by her family and friends.
