Joanna (Joan) A. Goodlund
Joanna was born in Waupaca, Wisconsin in 1933 to Walter Anderson and Johanna Hoy. She was raised on a rural farm and was one of six children. She attended Dana College in Blair, Nebraska. In 1953 she married Gordon Goodlund of Deming, Washington. Together they owned and operated Goodies Restaurant in Seattle for 25 years before retiring and becoming apple orchardists in Manson. They were married for 51 years prior to his death in 2004.
She was a lifelong member of the Lutheran Church (Lake Chelan and Green Valley, Arizona). She loved Duplicate Bridge and was a member of three different groups where she developed many wonderful friendships. Family, friends, church, gardening, home decorating, her Danish heritage and her two beloved cats were her greatest enjoyments in life. She had a very active life until the last few years when she developed dementia and declining health.
She was predeceased by her husband, Gordon Goodlund in 2004 and siblings Laurie, Stanley, Anita, Anona and Shirl.
She is survived by her children Randall (Maureen) Goodlund of Snohomish, Andrea Hoey of Wenatchee; grandsons Cameron and Collin Hoey, Wenatchee; great-granddaughter Kody Marie Hoey, East Wenatchee.
A service will be held in the spring.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent in her name to the American Cancer Society or the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society.
