MARGUERITE JANE GOODROW Our beautiful mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother died at home on Tuesday, November 16, 2010. She was 95 years old. Marguerite was born October 16, 1915 at the family farmhouse on Lopez Island. She was the second child and only daughter born to James and Barbara McCauley. She lived on Lopez for 87 years before moving to Burlington in 2002. Marguerite married Byron (Barney) Goodrow on March 20, 1937 in a ceremony performed by Barney's father. Together they raised two daughters and one son on Lopez Island, and enjoyed 67 years of marriage before Barney's death in 2004. Marguerite and Barney farmed for a living in their early years of marriage. She later became a very successful realtor on Lopez. She was involved in her community, volunteering countless hours making Christmas wreaths for the annual sale as well as volunteering at the thrift store. Marguerite was preceded in death by her husband, Barney and great-grandson Joshua Goodrow, both in 2004; her parents and her brother Sam McCauley.
