Elizabeth Goossen

Elizabeth, you would be so proud of Alex and Ben who you helped raise. The seeds of faith that you planted in them have grown. Your legacy of love for children lives on through their kind hearts.

Deepest sympathies to Beth's family at her sudden death. They lived just down the road from us when they lived in Mountain Lake, MN. I was just enough older, but I remember the Goosen kids coming over to play with my younger siblings.

Praying for family and friends at this difficult time

We grew up less than a mile apart and I rode the bus to school with her in our elementary years. Even then, Elizabeth was a kind, caring, and compassionate soul. Please allow me to share a story. I was the tallest boy in our class back then, Elizabeth, likely the smallest. When two older boys beat me up after we got off the school bus one morning (probably 2nd or 3rd grade), it was Beth who found me sitting on the floor crying in a corner behind the entry door and comforted me, and then...

Elizabeth was lways a loyal friend. I am deeply saddened to hear this shocking news

I was so very sorry to hear of Elizabeth's passing! I knew her during the time I attended Fairfield Baptist Church. I rejoice with her that she lives forever with our Lord and Savior!!! (She is also with Abby!!) Praying for all who loved her.

Elizabeth was truly a gift to our family. She was our nanny from 2010-2013. She was so patient and loving. She cared deeply about all of God´s creation - especially children and animals. She would sit and make crafts, Christmas ornaments and design playmobil sets on the floor for hours. Horses and barns were her favorite. She would help the boys make beautiful cards for me, the grandparents, and teachers. She was like an extra spouse to me and Jeff. On top of taking care of the boys, she...

Elizabeth had such a an infectious enthusiasm for life! She exuded unconditional love for others, particularly the beloved children she cared for so selflessly. Their family, pets and friends were her family, pets and friends. She showered all with thoughtful stories and messages of love and unwavering faith. I feel blessed to have known her. She was one of a kind, and will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace, Elizabeth. Love, prayers and comfort to all who mourn for her.
