Reta Stright Good

Reta was preceded in death by her son, Billy, and her parents Kenneth and Anne. She is survived by her husband Wilbur; her daughters, Pamela and Carol; her grandsons, Christopher and his wife Pamela, Allen and his wife Kristen and Michael with his partner Jay; her great grandchildren, Connor, Lauren, Kaitlyn, Kensley, and Colton; her sister Carol; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

Reta was as a registered nurse for 45 years of her life, serving at Phelps Memorial Hospital Tarrytown, New York. Locally, she served at both Johnston Willis and Chippenham hospitals. She spent 10 years in the Salvation Army, providing disaster relief in New York on 9/11, in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina, and in Oklahoma after a tornado, as well as providing local disaster relief in Chesterfield. She spent 19 summers with her husband on Prince Edward Island doing volunteer work. In addition, she was a part of the Lifelong Learning Institute in Chesterfield for fifteen years.

In addition to her volunteer work, Reta was deeply creative. She was always working on a creative project of some kind. Reta was a member of the Salisbury Garden Club for 35 years and kept an immaculate porch garden, despite the attempts of squirrels to ruin it. She also ran a successful personal business selling jewelry made of dehydrated potatoes.

The family would like to thank the Chesterfield Fire and Police Department, as well as the many neighbors, friends, and members of Lifelong Learning Institute, who responded to the news of Reta's passing immediately. They would like it known that they are very thankful for the support provided.

The family of Reta Good will be receiving friends and family at an open house on Saturday, May 27, 2023 at 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Woody Funeral Home Huguenot Chapel, 1020 Huguenot Road, Midlothian, VA 23113.
