Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 22, 2024.
Patricia Ann Goodman, known as Pat, passed away on January 20, 2024, at the age of 82 in Ambler, Pennsylvania. She was born on June 23, 1941, to her parents, Jacob and Rose Kirschner of Elkins Park, PA. Pat lived a vibrant and fulfilling life, leaving behind cherished memories for her family and friends.

Pat is survived by Mort, her loving husband of 63 years, and her children, Debbie and Henry (Susan) Goodman. She was an adored Grammy to Haley, Joshua, and Rose. Pat's love and dedication to her family and friends will be forever remembered.

In addition to being a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, Pat had a wide range of interests. She was an avid baker, golfer, bridge player, and world traveler and joyously welcomed everyone into her home and her life, spreading warmth and happiness wherever she went.

Pat was a breast cancer survivor for 32 years. Her personal experience led her to become an advocate for early detection and treatment for underserved communities in the greater Philadelphia Area. She actively worked with the Susan G. Komen Foundation and served as Co-Chair for Race for the Cure. Her commitment to raising awareness and supporting those in need will have a lasting impact.

Miss my bestfriend more than words.

Pat (Patsy then) was my childhood friend. We lost touch for many years but reconnected after our 50th reunion and when we were both living in South Florida. i have fond memories of when we went to summer camp together. One experience that stands out for me is when Pat was experimenting with hypnotizing other campers (including myself) and getting us to act and say strange and silly things. I think I remember this because it was a mischievous part of her that I really enjoyed along with her sweetness and graciousness. When we reconnected after all those years and would meet for lunch and drinks I remember talking and laughing together and enjoying all those parts of her just as I had as children.

I spent many an afternoon after school at the Goodman house, where Pat always greeted us warmly. She always had a smile, and I remember her laugh so clearly. Her devotion to her children was unparalleled, whether it be for extracurricular activities, their education or just being a great mom. And the best testament to this is the love Debbie showed back to her. Pat will be missed, but remembered with such love.
