Janet Goudey
Janet Goudey, formerly of Somers, passed away peacefully at home in Venice, Fla. on Sept. 14. She was 87.
She was born in Oneonta, N.Y. to Lincoln and Lucile Darling. Graduating from SUNY Oneonta, she taught school for many years, retiring from the Somers Central School District in July 1981.
She was married to Arthur, the love of her life, for 65 years. Together they raised five children. In 1964, they began spending every summer with their family at their coastal vacation home in South Addison, Maine. After retiring, they continued to enjoy summers in Maine, mid-seasons in upstate New York and winters in Florida.
Janet was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, teacher and friend. She was deeply devoted to her faith and her family. She was loving, kind and compassionate, always smiling, always happy. Her greatest passion was her family, and she touched each of their lives in a special way. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed.
She is survived by her husband and best friend, Art; her children, Susan (Bill) Hahn, Peggy (Dennis) Carney, Art Jr., John (Nancy) and Peter; nine grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her grandson, Justin.
A private graveside service will be held at a later date at St. Joseph’s Cemetery in Somers.
