Surrounded by her children, Margie Goodale-Boutwell, of Enon, passed peacefully on June 24, 2020 at her daughter’s home in Pace, Fla., and went to be with her Lord at the age of 93. 

Margie was born on February 27, 1927, in Pineville, Fla. to John and Tazzie Hastings. In 1940, she married George Goodale and grew a family of six children. She enjoyed being a homemaker, raising her children and helping to raise her grandchildren and even great-grandchildren until Greoge’s death in 1978.

After that, she worked briefly for the forestry division at the Oak Grove fire tower.

In her later years she pursued her passion for gardening, fishing, traveling, hunting and just being outdoors in general. 

She is preceded in death by her parents; her first husband, George Goodale; two sons, Howard and Raymond Goodale; a granddaughter, Beth Goodale; great-grandsons, Nimiki Owl Allen and Myles Hart; and a daughter-in-law, Nellie Goodale. 

She is survived by her second husband, William Boutwell; her sons, Carlis Goodale of Cantonment and Edward Goodale of Enon; her daughters, Janice Allen of Mossy Head and Carol Ann Askren of Pace; sons-in-law, Robert Allen and Willard Askren; 14 grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren. She was very much loved and will be sorely missed.
