Shirley Lavonne Goff
by Lisa O’Leary
Shirley Lavonne Goff went home to be with her Lord and Savior Monday, October 28, 2013 at Mat-Su Regional Hospital. Shirley was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 49 years, Allen Goff. She is survived by her brother, Robert Hussey, who resides in Springtown, Texas; her son, Robert Goff, who resides in Gardner, Montana; her daughter, Lisa O’Leary, residing in Seldovia, Alaska; and numerous nieces, nephews and grand-children.
Shirley lived and loved in Alaska for many years. Her involvement in the community was only surpassed by her great love for her family. She was known for her direct assessment of any situation, and her ability to communicate her opinion without compromise or question.
A celebration service will be held at Palmer Christian Church on Scott Road in Palmer on Saturday, November 30, 2013 at 11:00 am. There will be a luncheon following, so bring your memories and smiles to share with Shirley’s church family. Shirley specified no flowers, please. Thank you.

SVT Conference Center
The Seldovia Museum is thrilled to announce that award-winning Alaskan storyteller, author, playwright and actor Jack Dalton will be giving a free storytelling concert in Seldovia on Tuesday, November 26.
Jack is famous for his humorous and engaging stories that are appropriate for all ages.
He has traveled all over the world, sharing stories that are rooted in his Yup’ik heritage but appeal to people of every culture. Jack has been honored as one of Alaska’s “Top 40 under Forty”, and received the very first Expressive Arts grant awarded by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian.
Jack will perform for the students at Susan B. English School during the day, and then give a storytelling concert for the public at 7:00 pm at the SVT Conference Center (upper floor of the ATC building on the Bay side). Thanks to generous sponsorship from the Institute for Museum & Library Services, the Seldovia Museum is able to offer this fantastic evening for free. Refreshments will be provided as well.
Don’t Miss This Great Event!
Come enjoy an evening celebrating laughter,
life and our wonderful Alaska heritage!
