Ionia Sentinel – Thursday, 11 November 2010


Helen G. (Goodemoot) Livermore Robinson, of Lake Odessa, passed away 
peacefully Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2010 at Laurel of Kent Nursing in Lowell.

Helen, better known as Toad, was born on Sept. 12, 1918 in Sebewa Township, 
one of eight children of Donald and Sarah (Fox) Goodemoot.  She graduated from 
Lake Odessa High School in 1936 and was married to Ray Livermore on Dec. 2, 
1939.  Together they raised their six children.  Following Ray’s passing in 
1966, Toad married Otis (Doc) Robinson and assisted with his veterinary 
practice for many years.

Toad was raised in a very musical family.  She accompanied her brothers as 
they sang and had many good hours at the piano at home.  She also enjoyed 
gardening, sewing and quilting.  In her latest years she made each of her 
grandchildren a quilt and presented the quilts at a picnic in the Lake Odessa 
Park.  These will be cherished keepsakes for all the grandchildren.

Toad was a member of the Central United Methodist Church, past member of the 
mother’s Study Club, Lakewood Area Choral Society, and the Alethians at 
Central United Methodist Church.

Surviving are her children, Michael (Karen) Livermore of Deming, New Mexico, 
Sara Jo (Larry) Cobb, Mary (Patrick) James, Scott (Ester) Livermore all of 
Lake Odessa, Tom Livermore of Woodland, Robin (Don) Ainsworth of Rockford; 
daughter in law, Becky Livermore of Woodland; 14 grandchildren; 18 great 
grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.  Also surviving are her 
sister, Mary “Peg” Faulkner; brother, Don (Bernie) Goodemoot; sisters in law, 
Madelyn Goodemoot, Lois Goodemoot and Eunice Goodemoot; and numerous nieces 
and nephews.

Preceding her in death were her parents; her husbands, Raymond Livermore and 
Otis Robinson; brothers, Francis Goodemoot, Ford Goodemoot, Myron Goodemoot 
and Rex Goodemoot; sister, Marion McDowell; and granddaughters, Laurie 
Livermore and Wendy Livermore.

In keeping with Helen’s wishes, no funeral services will be held.  A 
visitation with the family will be held from 3 to 5 pm on Sunday, No. 14, 
2010, at the Koops Funeral Chapel in Lake Odessa.  Interment will take place 
in Lakeside Cemetery next to her husband, Ray Livermore.  

The family has suggested that memorial contributions in Helen’s name be 
directed to the Lakewood Educational Foundation.
