Max L. Goodman

Max L. Goodman February 10, 1924 ~ September 19, 2014 Max Goodman was finally called home by the Lord and entered into heaven on September 19, 2014. He passed away peacefully at Colonial Vista, after suffering more than six years from the difficult and terrible effects of Alzheimer’s Disease. He was born on February 10, 1924, in Milton-Freewater, OR and the family moved to Wenatchee in 1932, where he lived until his death. He graduated from Wenatchee High School in 1943, and married Gladys “Skip” Fox on March 21, 1943, and had three children, Carol, Judy and David. Dad and Mom were married for 45 years, before she passed away in 1988. He enlisted in the Navy and was on active duty from June, 1943 until February, 1946. Dad was an active and lifelong member of the First Church of God in Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. Dad loved the Lord, his family and church family as well, and the life he led was an example and testament of that love. Dad had many friends, who were also an important part of his life, and each one shares special memories and stories of their friendship and associations with him as well. In fact, the Director of Nursing at Highline Nursing Home once asked if everyone in Wenatchee knew Max Goodman, as she was always asked by visitors, “Is that Max Goodman?” Max was preceded in death by his parents, Linn and Lucille Goodman; his wife, Gladys Goodman; a sister, Betty Goodman; and two brothers, Dean and Robert “Bob” Goodman. He is survived by his three children, Carol Worthington, Judy (Roger) Snitily and David (Jocelyn) Goodman; his two brothers, Rollin Goodman and Richard “Dick” Goodman; and sister-in-law, Barbara Fox. He is also survived by nine grandchildren, Scott, Greg, Monica, Geoff, Samantha, Matthew, Jayson, Carolyn and Joseph; and six great-grandchildren, Zach, Zoe, Chloe, Kayley, Evie, and Ashlyn. A special thank you to Dad’s many friends and the staffs at Highline Nursing Home and Colonial Vista for the many special needs Dad required and the care and love they gave him as well.
