HARLENE GOODNOUGH

Mary Harlene Goodnough (nee Henry).  After a long and courageous battle with cancer, our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Harlene went to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on January 3, 2005 at the age of 69 years.  She was born in St.Walburg, SK on December 23, 1935.  She is predeceased by her father, William Faye Henry.  She is survived by her mother, Beatrice; brother, Ralph;  five children:  Wendy; Jana (Gary) Horsnall; Jeffrey (Beth); Dayan; Jason (Robyn); grandchildren:  Joel (Amanda) Goodnough; Elyse Goodnough; Steven (Jennifer) Watterson; James (Kendra) Watterson; Arlow Horsnall; Jessica, Kya, and Alyx Goodnough; Ethan and Avery Goodnough; Bryson and Abigail  Goodnough; great-grandchildren: Alexa and Brennan Watterson; Mya, Zechariah and Eden Goodnough; and Jayden Watterson; and many other aunts, uncles, and cousins. We would like to acknowledge the special friendship and kindness shown by Helen and Bob Burrows. Harlene will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends. Mom was a people person and enjoyed making new friends.  Mom’s home and heart was always open.  She loved cooking and baking and enjoyed entertaining people in her home.  She was always a perfect hostess.  Mom was an avid gardener and she always decorated her home and yard to fit any season.  She enjoyed watching her children and then her grandchildren play hockey, ball and all other activities.

To every life upon this earth

Is a designated day

When the Lord looks down and says

“You’ve walked the last mile of the way.”

We have not known the road ahead

Only the paths we’ve trod

But there is one who counts each step

For there’s nothing unknown to God

Through sunny days and stormy ways

He’s watched you all the while

He was with your trials and then

He walked with you the final mile

To Him, who holds the universe

Yet sees each sparrow fall

How can we help but trust and see

God’s hand upon it all.

In keeping with Mom’s wishes there will be no funeral service, however there will be a celebration of her life for family and friends at the Church of God on Saturday January 15, 2005 at 2:00 pm.  In lieu of flowers, memorials to Joe’s Place, 402 Main St.N., Moose Jaw, S6H 3K2, would be appreciated.

Ginny Jackson - Moose Jaw, SK: It is bittersweet to learn of Harlene's passing as I enjoyed our conversations these past months at Providence Place where I volunteer, yet I know she was having such a difficult time with the progression of the cancer.  My prayers are with all who have memories of Harelene and I will treasure the wonderful smile Harelene gave me whenever I entered her room. What a gift to give someone--even when you yourself are in such pain.  God Bless, Ginny Jackson

Bill Brears - Cold lake AB: Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lynly and Gord Traill - Moose Jaw, SK: To Jana and Family, Our prayers are with.

Jeannie Longworth - Moose Jaw, SK: Jana and Family...I know how hard this is for all of you.  My thoughts and prayers are with you always.  I am going to miss your mom's smile, & great sense of humor.  I will always remember (mom) travelling the countryside and making numerous phone calls looking for Jana and I after leaving a sentence of being grounded for a weekend.  We always
thought we were smarter and could get back to the house before we were noticed missing, but unfortunately, it never turned out the way we had planned.  It didn't matter how far or how long we were gone, we always got caught, but, we always had fun trying. She will be forever missed. 

Geri Musson Mintenko - Prince George, BC: To Jana and Family--so sorry to hear about your Mom.  I have so many fond memories of your mom ( during our Lindale school years )and she treated me like I was one of her own children! She even let me get away with alot more than I did at home! Let it be of some comfort that your mom is no longer suffering.  My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
