Nancy A. Goodreau, 88, of 142 Parkway Road, St. Marys, passed away Saturday, December 26, 2020 at the Elk Haven Nursing Home after a brief illness.

She was born August 8, 1932, in St. Marys, daughter of the late Elmer G. and Ruth Gerg Smith.  Nancy was a lifelong resident of the area and was a graduate of St. Marys High School, Class of 1950.

On August 17, 1953, in St. Marys, Nancy married John C. Goodreau, who preceded her in death on April 21, 1991.

She is survived by a daughter, Linda Klaiber and her fiancé Anthony Leo of Camp Hill, PA; three sons: Terrance J. Goodreau of Palm Springs, CA; Randall G.
