Nancy Lee Good, 65, passed away peacefully at home on June 27, 2020. She was born to Harry and Leola Bennett on November 6, 1954 in Warrensburg, Missouri. The family’s many moves throughout Missouri and Kansas cultivated her ability to connect with people. Her husband, Michael, was set upon her future path while her home was in Marion, Kansas in first through fourth grade. She graduated from Blue Springs High School in 1973 then received a degree in education from University of Central Missouri.

Nancy provided constant support to Mike throughout their 42 years together. They enjoyed travel, bicycle riding, mission work, and being grandparents together. She lovingly raised three daughters Amy, Rebecca, and Laura with a devotion to provide many opportunities and special celebrations. Hospitality flowed from her into gatherings for friends, family, and church. Her gift of encouragement was evident during her 20 years as a Weight Watchers leader.

Nancy’s way of life shined as she lived with joy throughout her cancer diagnosis. Her life was led with grace, forgiveness, thankfulness, gratitude, and a spirit of giving. She will be greatly missed by her husband Michael; her children, Amy and Peter Yen, Rebecca and Jon Robison, and Laura Good; seven grandchildren; her siblings Harry and Margie Bennett and Roger and Beth Bennett. Her family is grateful for the compassion shown by Riverbluff Fellowship, Ellis Fishcel Cancer Center, Siteman Cancer Center, Hospice Compassus, Sutton In-Home Care, and so many friends.

Nancy will be buried in Rivermonte Memorial Gardens. A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later date which will be posted to her CaringBridge site. Nancy’s last dream was to provide community for the chronically homeless in Springfield. Memorials for Nancy Good Community Center at Eden Village II may be sent to The Gathering Tree, P.O. Box 2364 Springfield, MO 65801.

Funeral Arrangements are under the direction of Greenlawn Funeral Home East.
