Janice Kay Goodman

Janice Goodman, 63, died on the evening of July 16.

She began her life in Spokane as the older of two children born to Gerald and Catherine (Gilchrist) McCaffery. The family lived in Davenport, before moving to Ritzville, where Janice and her younger brother Michael spent most of their youth.

With her engaging personality and infectious laugh it was apparent early on that Janice was destined for the spotlight.

Even as a young girl of 7 she charmed those around her with her talent in dancing, ballet, and baton twirling, and earned a spot on “Starlit Stairway” as a member of “Suzie Q’s.”
