She remembered having to place rocks behind the overloaded truck tires to keep it from rolling backwards on the hills as they slowly made the move to Sedan.
She married Carlie Olen Goode of Waneta, Kansas, in 1937. They later divorced. They had three sons: Ronnie Goode of Crestview, FL, Kellie Goode of Nixa, MO, and Wayne Goode of Kennesaw, GA. All survive. She is survived by six grandchildren; two great-grand-children; and three great-great-grandchildren.
She married Charles Baker June 30, 1977 in Neodesha. He preceded her in death November 19, 2009 at the age of 84.
She was known as Geneva "GG" Goode to her co-employees at Boeing Aircraft in Wichita where she helped produce Boeing bombers as a riveter; Airosol Company in Neodesha; Electra Company in Independence; and K.A.A.P. in Parsons where she retired in 1978. She did hard manual labor her whole life to help provide for her family.
She was a fifty-year member of the First Church of the Nazarene in Neodesha. She will be remembered by her Sunday school students of more than 30 years.
She was preceded in death by seven siblings: Glenn Usher, Darrell Usher, Robert Usher, Fernleigh Usher who died in infancy, Arthur Usher, Viola Usher Frazier, and Ocie Lee Ellen Usher Elkins Gentry.
