Delores Marie Goodale

Family, Community, and God


Delores Marie Goodale, age 75, passed away February 27, 2022 in Victorville, CA, USA. She will be remembered as a loving, committed friend, daughter, mother, grandmother and child of God. She is survived by her mother, 3 children, 10 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.


Delores was born on July 15, 1946, in Springfield, MO, USA to Grace Anna Belcher and Leroy Henry Belcher. She was raised in Baldwin Park, CA, USA and graduated from Baldwin Park High School in 1964.


While she was quiet and often kept private, she believed in family, community and God. She humbly helped and served where she could and always gave with her heart. She served as a nurse a profession that gave as much to her as she gave to it. Her co-workers were like her family, and she delivered babies helping others fill their families with love.


One of her favorite poems was "Footprints". And, the Lord said, "When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." Many times, she looked backed and saw only one set of footprints. The Lord had her back, and she paid it forward. Delores would always lovingly help others in time of need. Many have experienced seeing that single set of footprints behind them. The Lord gave them Delores to carry them during some of their most troublesome times of life.


Devoted and dedicated to family and surrounding community. May Delores Marie Belcher-Goodale rest in peace and bask in the glory of God.
