Barbara Ann Goode

GOODE, BARBARA ANN EASTUS preceded in death by her parents, Clyde and Lily Eastus and survived by husband, Colonel Franklyn C. Goode USA (Ret); daughter and son-in-law, Shawn and Jay Davini, daughter, Tierney E. Goode; grandsons, Jason and Brandon Davini. Kelly was a stewardess for Central Airlines before her marriage to her Army Aviator husband at Gary Air Force Base, San Marcos, TX. This began her 56 years of being an Army wife. She raised two lovely daughters, Shawn and Tierney, during the frequent and lengthy military absences of her husband including 13 months in Korea and two, year-long combat tours in Vietnam. She endured 19 moves during his military career making a new, warm home each time. After his retirement, she enjoyed expeditionary type travel and cruising with him to remote sites around the world. These included 5 trips to the Antarctic and 3 trips to the high Arctic where they were once stranded for 5 days in the Lincoln Sea ice until rescued by a Russian nuclear icebreaker. She lugged her beloved Polaroid camera around the world with her and delighted in taking photos of Mamas with their child in arms and then presenting the photo to the ecstatic mother. She loved her every-summer trips to New Hampshire lakeside houses where she would witness her two grandsons grow from babies to young adults as they frolicked and learned to swim in the beautiful lakes. She was attracted to and loved all animals especially her many toy poodles and miniature schnauzers. The family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts and many kindnesses over the past difficult months. In honoring this beautiful lady, they wish that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the SPCA.
