JoAnne Goodman

JoAnne Marie Goodman VIRGINIA BEACH - JoAnne Marie Goodman, 49, passed away peacefully in the comfort of her home Dec. 31, 2009. Mrs. Goodman was born Nov. 30, 1960 in Ogdensburg, N.Y. She was employed at Riverpointe Rehab as a dietary aide. JoAnne will always be remembered for her unequaled dedication as a wife, mother, and as then as a good friend. It is said that one can tell a lot about a person by those that they hold close and she was blessed throughout her life with an extraordinary family and group of friends who were always there to support her. She was always happiest when she was amongst them, preferably cooking, playing bingo and being with the children. Left to cherish her memory is her loving husband of 25 years, Joseph Goodman; two daughters, Marjorie and Rose Goodman; mother, Eleanor Ibey; brother, Carl Ibey Jr.; two sisters, Alice Larue and Barbara Thurston; and three godchildren, Lucas, Piper, and Ethan VanNostrand. She is preceded in death by her father, Carl Ibey Sr. The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 6, at Rosewood-Kellum Funeral Home. A celebration of life will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 7, at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society.
