Jaclyn Goranson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 12, 2022.
Jaclyn Armbrust Goranson ascended to her heavenly home on September 10, 2022, surrounded by her loving children.

Jaclyn was preceded in death by her parents, Vernon and Hazel Armbrust, her husband Paul Goranson, and two infant grandsons.

She is survived by her sister Sharon (Bill) England, her son Todd (Sharon) Rodenborn, and her daughter Jody Troutman along with the four lights of her life; her grandsons, Maxwell and Alexander Rodenborn, and Mason and Aiden Troutman. She is also survived by her special friend Jim Brown and her "girls group" - Jeannie Martens, Evelyn Duncan, Andi Nemeth, and her best friend from high school Josie Kesler.

Jaclyn was born in Lincoln, Nebraska. She spent her childhood in Webster City, Iowa, and her adult life in Knoxville and Kingston, Tennessee. She cherished her high school reunions in Webster City; never missing a reunion in 55 years.

Jaclyn held a Bachelor's in Business Administration and retired after 30 years from Kenco in Knoxville. She had a lifelong passion for travel throughout the world. In retirement, she added gardening, sewing, and decorating to her pastimes. She loved to host friends and family at numerous get-togethers.

A memorial is planned for September 24th at 7:00 PM at her home in Kingston: 236 High Pointe Village Way - Contact Jody (865) 924-9077

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Bridges to Recovery - https://www.bridges2recovery4you.com/ - P.O. Box 417, Jacksboro, TN 37757. Jaclyn passionately and generously assisted with the creation of this residential addiction program serving the needs and spreading the hope of sobriety for women who suffer from substance abuse disorders.

Todd, you don´t know me, but I wanted to express my sincere sympathy on the passing of your mom. I just learned of her passing. I met her in late 1982 at a restaurant in north Knox County, just a few miles from where you guys lived. I was going through a difficult divorce, and she was so very king and encouraging. She even came to my house and baked me dinner the day my divorce was final. I called her several times, mainly just to hear her kind voice. She helped me get on with my life-and I am doing quite well now-but I will never forget her smile, her sincerity, and her kindness. She was an angel to me. God bless you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Jackie's passing. She was such a vibrant person with an infectious smile. I met Jackie through her husband Paul, who was my classmate in upper Michigan. Paul adored Jackie. She was the best thing that happened to him. RIP sweet Jackie.

Jackie was such a special person and I always told her she was the best host-she always made you feel so welcome! She took such good care of my grandmother and uncle. Gone far too soon I going to miss you Jackie!!

Jackie & I met 37 years ago in Aruba. Our meeting led to a lasting friendship. In spite of our geographical distance TN - AZ, we celebrated many significant events in our lives together. My husband, Tom, & I will keep her memory in our hearts.
