Janice Goatley Obituary
Delray Beach, FL - Janice M. Goatley, age 73, of Delray Beach, passed away peacefully at home on October 16, 2020 with her loving sons by her side. Todd (Kelli), Kenneth, and George (Pip). She was a proud and doting grandmother of Sarah, Sam and Keegan. Janice is also survived by her brother John (Jewel), sisters June and Wendy (Jon), cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and many friends that she loved dearly.
Janice enjoyed a long career of modeling and acting through her SAG-AFTRA affiliation. She was also a substitute teacher for local public school systems as well as a licensed real estate agent. Janice was known for her calm and caring personality, as well as her passion for life. She was an exceptional water skier and enjoyed yoga, biking, tennis as well as her love for the arts and music, but her greatest enjoyment was her family.

Dear Todd, Kenneth and George, Jr.,
It's hard for me to tell you how great a hole the death of your mom has left in my life. While we rarely lived in the same place, we maintained contact regularly by phone, letters, cards and emails. I miss her voice, her optimism, her joy in you "boys" and catching me up on your lives, as well as her own. We were able to share our dreams, failures, and hopes with each other. I will always treasure her place in my life, and I look forward to seeing her again in heaven. It gave me great joy to realize she had returned to her basic Christian faith. I hope you all are doing well and sharing with each other the joys she brought into your lives! Wishing you love and blessings,
Janean Johnston (another original Minnesotan!)
