The Bakersfield Californian 
Jeane Ames Goff
12/22/1924 10/16/2004

Services: Fri., 10/22/2004, 11:00 a.m. 


Jeane was taken to Heaven to be with her loving Savior in the early morning 
hours of Oct. 16, 2004. Beloved wife of 40 years to David L. Goff, loving 
mother of daughter and son-in-law, Paula and Ray Romines, daughter, Mary 
Bryant, daughter and son-in-law Debbie and Michael Harvey, all of Bakersfield. 
Treasured grandmother to 8 grandchildren, David and Dominic Lopez, Josh, Caleb 
and Jamie Bryant, Michael, Sarah and Marshall Harvey. Precious sister to 
Juanita, Dorothy, Garnet and Charlotte, Jeane had her own Sassy Club for all 
her daughters and special adopted daughters, Carmen Smith, Michele Sturge and 
many others. She had an amazing capacity for unconditional love and we were 
proud to share her with all she embraced as her own. Jeane was the most 
wonderfully loving mother anyone could ever have and each of us knew without 
doubt that we were her absolute favorite. She loved her sons-in-law as though 
they were born of her own flesh.

Jeane was born on December 22, 1924 in DeKoven, Kentucky to Aubrey Wendell and 
Mary Gertrude Ames. She graduated from high school in Sturgis, Kentucky and 
was valedictorian of her class. After marrying David, they moved to California 
where he worked as a carpenter and she worked as a secretary for the 
unemployment department, before starting their family.

Jeanes greatest joy was serving the Lord. She worked as a volunteer for many 
years at the Crisis Pregnancy Center. She was deeply devoted to her Church, 
Ridgeview Family Worship Center and was a personal prayer partner to her 
Pastor, Larry White, who she dearly loved. Jeane was a powerful prayer warrior 
for the Lord and her unshakeable faith in Christ was a shining example to all 
who knew her. She loved and appreciated her special prayer partners Linda 
Morgan, Eleanor Work and Vondia Caruso. Our family would like to extend 
special thanks to Jeanes primary care physician of many years, Dr. Shiue, 
current primary physician, Dr. Talieh, the very kind, compassionate staff of 
Optimal Hospice, especially her wonderful caregivers Sharon Hicks, R.N., 
Amanda, L.V.N. and Lori Smith, C.H.C Because of their dedication to Jeanes 
care and comfort, our family was blessed with nearly a year more of priceless 
time with our precious angel mother.

Visitation will be from 4-8pm on Thursday, Oct. 21st at Mish Funeral Home, 120 
Miner Ave, Oildale, CA. Funeral service will be in the Mish Funeral Home 
Chapel on Friday, Oct 22 at 11:00 a.m. Entombment will follow at Greenlawn 
Cemetery on River Blvd.
