Gustavee "Gussie" Goodnight was born on July 25, 1933 and passed away on August 7, 2020 at the age of 87.

Gussie was best known as the lunch lady and served countless meals to students and teachers over the years at Omaha School, where she worked until her retirement.  She enjoyed traveling, fishing, casino trips, basketball games, and just being near her family and friends.  Everyone was welcome in her home, where you could always find a crowd of family and friends eating good meals and playing cards.

Gussie was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Woods and Nola Jones, her husbands, Delbert Poor and Ted Goodnight, her daughter and husband, Beverly and Ron Stone, her grandchild, Rodney Poor and her great grandchild, Chase Pardeck.

She is survived by a son, Ricky (Becky) Poor; grandchildren, Melissa Stone Pardeck, Jamie (Marietha) Stone and Shane (Maranda) Poor.  She had 9 great grandchildren, Trey Stone, Brooklyn Stone, Maddie Pardeck, Nick Launius, Payton Hopper, Morgan Hopper, Colton Poor, Rebekah Poor and Lexi Poor; and one great-great grandchild, Aurora Launius.

She was loved by all that knew her.

We would like to say a special thanks to everyone at Newton County Nursing Home.  Gussie was loved and cared for so well!
