A service to honor her life was Friday June 5th, at 10:00 a.m. at Loveland Funeral Chapel. Arleen was born in Roswell, Idaho on August 5th, 1918 to Walter and Leonora Obendorf. After high school, Arleen gradu- ated from Lewis and Clark College with a Lifetime Teaching Certificate. She began her teaching career at Ten Davis School near Parma. In 1942, she married Leonard Goodson and two years later their daugh- ter Jacki was born. In 1946 Arleen and Leonard purchased a farm north of Cove. In addition to the everyday tasks of a farm wife and mother, Arleen quickly dedicated herself to her new community. Arleen was a substitute teacher, taught Sunday school, and enjoyed teaching piano lessons. She volunteered countless hours at the library, the school, Cove Methodist Church, the Cove Improve- ment Club, and the Cherry Art Festival. She was honored as the grand marshal of the Cher- ry Festival in 2003. Arleen was an active member of Mt. Fanny Grange Hall, Cherry Chapter of Eastern Star, Daughters of the Nile, and Cove Sportsman’s Club. Arleen and Leonard were founding members of the Cove Booster Club. Arleen’s heart always be- longed to the kids of Cove. For years, Arleen’s smil- ing face was at every home sporting or school event; taking tickets, selling T-shirts or just being the Leopard’s #1 fan. In 1982 the Goodsons were selected for the Cove’s First Booster of the Year award. In a special ceremony in 1991, the sports field was officially named “Goodson Field” in honor of the many con- tributions that Arleen and Leonard had made over the years to the athletic program. The plaque reads, “Goodson Field will forever be named in your honor. Your loyal support in good times and bad are an inspiration to us all.” Arleen will always be remembered for her infectious smile, her compassion, and her sweet disposition. She was full of grace, love, and joy. God was the center of her life. She was a true example of a Christian woman who exemplified God’s love by the way she touched people with her selfless giving. Those privileged to have known Arleen are better because of her. Arleen is survived by her daughter, Jacki and husband Jack Turner of Baker City, granddaughters Lynne McKittrick of Portland, Heather Krueger (Jerry) of Covington Washington, and Chandra Bingaman (Greg) of Imbler; sister- in-law, Verna Obendorf; seven great grand-children; brother Arthur and his wife Lela Obendorf; four nephews, one niece and numerous great nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Leonard Good- son, and her brother Walter Obendorf. In lieu of flow- ers, memorial contribu- tions can be made to Cove Booster Club in care of Loveland Funeral Chapel, 1508 Fourth St., La Grande 97850.

They were so effi- cient, well organized and did it all with smiles and enthusiasm. Even the adults working with the teens displayed endless energy and excitement to be giving back to the community. Many Thanks for a great clean car.
