  • Beverly Carol McComb Goff died peacefully and suddenly in her sleep in the early morning hours of December 17, 2020, with family by her side, in St. George, Utah, at 94 years of age.

    Beverly was born February 2, 1926 in Salt Lake City, Utah, daughter of Carroll George McComb and Lois Norton. She was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Wayne Goff, after 49 years of marriage. They were married in Elko, Nevada December 23, 1950 and later sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 15, 1974.

    Beverly was not afraid of trying anything new and would not have anyone tell her she couldn’t do something. She was very active and spunky her whole life; skiing, camping, bowling, boating, dancing, walking, and traveling. She traveled to Mexico on her 80th birthday with all of her children and grand children. She graduated South High School in Salt Lake City in 1944 and then attended the Dance program at the University of Utah. She worked during war time refurbishing weapons at Camp Kearns. She even purchased her first car and learned how to drive it before she had a driver’s license, talk about tenacity. She dreamed of being a pilot, but found out she was pregnant with Shelley, which changed her plans. She worked at Highland Dairy, Pierce Young Construction Company, Harper Excavation, and Star Brass as an accountant. After she retired she worked as a travel agent for Morris Murdock Travel. Her real passion in life was traveling the world, which may be attributed to her traveling coast to coast as an infant in a Model T. She visited at least 50 countries, some more than once, during her life and took Spanish classes in retirement so she could communicate on her adventures to Mexico. She enjoyed her church activities which included working at the genealogy library for years until suffering a stroke in her late 80’s which slowed her down against her will.

    Beverly is survived by Susan Woodard, daughter, Shelley Goff, daughter, (Mike Anderson), Craig Woodard, grandson, Sandy Woodard, grand daughter in law (Jedediah, Sr. grandson), Mike Woodard (Sheila), grandson, Christian Anderson (Brittney), grandson, Nicki Sumer Woodard, Briana Woodard Clift (Jason), Wyatt Woodard, Jedediah Woodard, Jr. (Alexsis), Brayden Woodard, Ethan Woodard, Gavin Woodard, Bella Bebe, Britagne Miller ( Jake), Cameron Trujillo, Kayla Sudbury (James), Dallin Woodard, McKell Woodard, great grandchildren, Kysen Miller, Ryden Miller, Brinley Miller, and Greyson Miller, great great grandchildren.

    Beverly is preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Wayne Goff, DeLoy Woodard, son in law, Jedediah Woodard, Sr., grandson, Deojinique Monet Woodard, great grand daughter, all four of her siblings, Morris Norton, Jean Plott, Robert McComb, and Marie Cantonwine.

    Services will be held Wednesday, December 23, 2020, at 2:00 p.m. at Larkin Sunset Gardens, 1950 East 10600 South, Sandy, Utah, with a viewing at 1:00 to 1:45 p.m. prior to the service. In lieu of flowers, donations to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, would be appreciated. Interment is at Larkin Sunset Gardens.

    We would like to thank Ridgeview Gardens for their tender care of our Mother for the last seven years of her life. We could not have asked for any better care, they were INCREDIBLE.

    Your Mother was/is an incredibly person. We had no idea of all that she accomplished and all the things she was interested in. We know she raised two beautiful girls who have became remarkable women. May your happy memories out weight your greif.
