Edith M. Goodwin
Edith May Strikwerda Goodwin, of Pipersville, PA died on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, at Abington Hospital. She was 80.
She is survived by her husband of 25 years, William J. Goodwin, Sr. and was predeceased by her first husband Gene Strikwerda.
Born in Philadelphia PA, she was the daughter of Titus and Mildred Larimer Boorse.
Edie was born and raised in Philadelphia where she met and married her late husband Gene Strikwerda. They moved to Pipersville in 1969 where they raised their 5 children. After the passing of Gene, Edie met and married Bill Goodwin in 1997.
Edie had many talents from cooking to sewing and anything in between but her biggest love was art. Her ability to create things was amazing. When she wasn’t chasing after 5 children she would enjoy quiet moments by the pool or just sitting reading a book.
Her door was always open to anyone that wanted to pop in and sit around her table sharing stories and laughter over cups of coffee or tea.
She will be greatly missed by so many.
In addition to her husband, Bill, she is also survived by her five children; Gene Strikwerda and Sue of Perkasie, Robin Davco and Ron Springtown, Amanda Layre and Jeff Eustice Doylestown, Lynette Ross and Bryan McGovern of Plymouth Meeting, and Sherri Strikwerda Pipersville, her two step-children; Ginger Gruver and Brad of Doylestown and William J.
