Margaret Good Obituary

Margaret Elizabeth "Betty" (Gahman) Good, 85, of Telford, PA; formerly of Blooming Glen, PA went home to be with the Lord on Monday, June 2, 2025 at Grand View Hospital. Betty was the loving wife of the late LaVerne L. Good for 37 years. She was born in Sellersville, PA to the late Melvin H. Gahman and the late Hannah L. (Detweiler) Gahman. Betty graduated from Christopher Dock Mennonite High School, class of 1957. She worked as a switchboard operator for the former Nyce's Saw Mill in Doylestown, PA.

She loved spending time gardening, sewing, knitting, and making music with them. Family camping trips to Spruce Lake Retreat for the 4th of July were an annual highlight, and she found comfort reading her Bible next to the waterfalls. She was an avid reader and also enjoyed canning, genealogy, math, and sending cards to family and friends. Betty was a detailed, focused, compassionate, witty woman who had a good sense of humor.
