Miriam O'Dell Goodnight

I had Mrs. Goodnight in third grade at Kenmore Elementary back in 67-68. I remember a time in class when a little girl ran up to Mrs. Goodnight's desk: she was tattle-taling on a little boy for something that was very trivial.

Of course that was quite embarrassing for the littler girl but she was making a very profound point - one that has stayed with me until this day. Such a...

Mrs. Goodnight was my 1st grade teacher at Kenmore Elementary. She was the most kind, generous, and thoughtful teacher I ever had. There was an amazing learning environment she created and some of my best grade school memories came from her classroom.

Grandma, I want to thankyou for loving me, and sharing your love of Christ to me...you will be missed in my life, but I know you are dancing in heaven, and rejoicing with your perfect body and yourlove of Christ..I love you.

My first teaching job in 1969, Mirium was so encouraging. She became a lifelong friend. Miriam was adored by all who knew her! She will be missed. She has always been ready to fulfill God's plan for her, whatever it may be. I know that she is watching over her family from heaven now.

She was such am amazing teacher and roll model to all her students. May you find peace knowing that she touched so many people. The entire Bryan family will keep you in our prayers.

Mrs Goodnight was my first grade teacher and I was lucky enough to see her once a year at family camp. What an amazing, patient, kind and graceful lady. I am sorry for your loss, she will be missed.

What a wonderful woman to have had in your lives. Our condolences to the family.

I'll never forget when she took our first grade class to her house for the end of the year celebration. Think about her often!
