Marilyn Roslyn Goodrich, 83, passed away peacefully on March 1, 2023 in her home in Plymouth, MN.
Marilyn was born in Red Wing, MN on October 31, 1939 to Adolph Stenhaug and Gladys Ohnstad. She grew up in the Sogn Valley and graduated from Cannon Falls High School in 1957.
Marilyn met and eventually married Dallas Johnson of Cannon Falls. She graduated from Minneapolis Business College, helped support Dallas in his teaching career and the family nursing home business. Faith was always an integral part of her life: the family began attending Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Brooklyn Park, transitioned to Maple Grove Lutheran Church and eventually she would be a long- time member and volunteer at Calvary Lutheran Church in Golden Valley.
Family was of utmost importance to Marilyn and before she entered the workforce, she started a family and became the epitome of a caring, kind, and committed mother to her three sons: Doug, Darren and Monte. She devoted her time and energy instilling her kindness, hard-working mentality, loving nature, and compassion into her family. She never missed any of her children’s events and worked tirelessly to ensure her boys were well taken care of.
As the children grew up, she entered the work force and became an invaluable member to all those she worked with and for. She spent over 20 years working for Northwest Eye Clinic in several locations. She met and eventually married Jeff Goodrich in 1993.
Following a well-deserved retirement in 2004, Marilyn dedicated her time to volunteer, travel, play cards with friends, and spend as much time as possible with her grandchildren.
She is survived by her three sons, Doug (Lisa), Darren (Leslie), and Monte (Andrea); eight grandchildren: Tanner, Brayden, Sam, Seth, Sydney, Ryan, Noah, and Carson.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jeff and her parents.
