Birth: 1934 Death: 2024 Mildred June (VanNorstran) Goad Mildred June (VanNorstran) Goad passed away peacefully in Eureka California on March 21st 2024. June was born on July 15th 1935, in Harriman Tennessee to Charity Estella (Israel) VanNorstran and Fred VanNorstran. She grew up in Mossy Grove Tennessee with her parents and six siblings, Ira, Johnny, Dora, Lola, Jane and Lois.
On September 5th 1950 June married Berry Goad. They were able to celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary in 2020 shortly before Berry passed away. In 1965 June, her husband Berry, and their five children moved cross country from Tennessee to Blue Lake California where she lived until her passing.
June had several careers throughout her life, but the job she enjoyed most was working for Harper’s Bazaar. She was a very fashionable woman and loved being the first to unpack and see the latest style in clothing. In 1979 her husband Berry became the ranch foreman for Vic Guynup.
She embraced her role as a rancher’s wife, and her delicious southern home cooking fed many ranch hands, family, church members and even a few orphaned puppies until they retired in 2001. Throughout her life June always turned to God. She found comfort, joy and healing in worship and the church community.
She secretly delighted in being able to play the piano for its members at several local congregations. She cherished the gift that her father had taught her and passed it along to a few of her family members. Many friends and f.
