Patricia Ann (Nickerson, Blackwell) Goodeill passed away peacefully May 31, 2012, in Hayward, Calif., after a four-year courageous battle with breast cancer. Pat was born in Pacific Beach, Calif., December 31, 1954.

Pat spent many years in the Rogue Valley raising her girls, attending Faith Bible Center in Medford, Ore., and excelling as an optical technician and merchandising representative. Her genuine desire to be of service, combined with her smile, sense of humor, and likeability made her a hit wherever she went.
