Obituary:

Jan Elizabeth Good
1950-2020
It is with great sadness that my sons and I announce the passing of my wife, and their mother, Jan Good (Whitehouse) on April 18, 2020. Jan was born in Bath, N.B. on March 4, 1950. She grew up in Juniper, N.B. and attended schools in both Juniper and Florenceville before moving to Fredericton. There, she worked for the provincial civil service for 25 years, holding various positions.

During her working life I was often on the road in the trucking industry, leaving her to largely raise our two boys. Throughout the years there were many workdays she found a way to make it to work on time despite a 6 a.m. hockey practice. Fortunately, our second son Aaron took up music. Jan certainly appreciated the warmer temperatures of concert halls over hockey rinks.

Jan retired early with kidney issues, but that did not slow her down. She was active in the Kidney Foundation, Fredericton Music Festival, and had creative passions for gardening and sewing. She also built an online following designing doll clothes, sharing them on her website Great North Woods Designs.

Nick, Aaron and I consider ourselves to be the spokes on a wheel, with Jan the hub that held us together. Because of the passion Jan had for our family, Christmas was the highlight of our year.

Jan was predeceased by her parents Clarence and Grace Whitehouse (Cummings) and in-laws Quentin and Juanita Good.

Jan is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Chuck, our sons Aaron of Toronto, Nicholas of Hanwell, daughter in-law Shannon (Chessie) and granddaughter Florence and grandson Taylor. She is also survived by a very special and loving sister Jill, her husband Raymond French together with nephews William and Ian. She is also survived by brother-in-law James Good and sister-in-law Francis Good, their daughter Karen Dobblesteyn and her children Olivia and William. Also included are numerous cousins in our extended family.

A very special thank you to Dr. Pawsey and all the doctors and nurses at 4NW. Jan was treated like family, receiving the utmost care and respect during her 4-month stay at the DECH.

For those who wish, donations may be made to organizations Jan was particularly fond of, the Kidney Foundation or the SPCA.

Arrangements are being handled by McAdam’s Funeral Home. There will not be a public visitation or funeral. A private family gathering will be held at a later date.
