Adele Lizzette Goodall

Adele L. Goodall (nee Bender), age 84, of Atco, NJ, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2026. She was born in Camden, NJ, to the late William Bender and Miriam Bender (nee Pennington).

Adele worked for many years as a skilled seamstress at Atco Knitting Mill, Kessler, and Castleford, from which she retired. She was exceptionally talented and generously shared her skills, always willing to help family and friends with their sewing needs. During her career, Adele also had the distinction of making clothing for Burberry.

A woman of remarkable strength and resilience, Adele was a three-time breast cancer survivor, courageously fighting the disease since 1980. She was a proud member of the Louden Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary.

Above all, Adele was a devoted mother and grandmother who played an important role in helping to raise her grandchildren. She cherished time spent with her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, all of whom brought her immense joy. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Adele is predeceased by her beloved husband of 65 years, Wilson J. Goodall, Jr., with whom she is now joyfully celebrating their 66th wedding anniversary in Heaven; her siblings, Wilhelm "Butch" Bender and Ernst "James" Bender; and her parents, William and Miriam Bender.

She is survived by her loving children, Randy Goodall and Tracy MacDonald (Shawn); grandchildren, Jessica Serra (Peter) and Stephanie Sebastian (Stephen); great-grandchildren, Brianna Watkins (Ambyr), Anthony Watkins, Phoenix Serra, Lily Sebastian, Cooper Serra, and Roman Serra; great-great-grandchild, Michael Watkins; siblings, Elaine Cook (the late Billy), Jeannette Hosier (Mike), and Beverly Tieslau (Chris); and many loving nieces and nephews who affectionately called her "Aunt Toot" or "Aunt Adele."
