Virginia E. "Goodie" Tindall, 89, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and formerly of Merrill and Sioux City, Iowa, passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 23, 2013, at Montereau Senior Living in Tulsa.

Virginia Elizabeth (Brown) Tindall was born on March 25, 1924, in Sioux City. After graduating 40 years as a bookkeeper at various businesses in Sioux City. Most notable was her work at the Sioux City Stockyards, where she supervised a group widely known as "Goodie's Angels." In 1953 she won "Queen of the Industry" and was awarded a trip to Cuba.

An August 1964 marriage to Leonard Brown of Merrill ended far too soon in 1971 due to a boating accident.

In November 1989 she married Dr. Robert Tindall, and they enjoyed family and friends for the next 13 years while splitting time between Lake Okoboji, Iowa, and Punta Gorda, Florida, until Robert's passing in late 2002. Since then Virginia had made her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she was quite active in many church and volunteer activities.

In addition to the two husbands, older brother Royce Anderson was a person of great influence and importance throughout her entire life. Virginia was also loved and admired by many beyond her immediate family for her devout faithfulness, honesty, integrity, and tireless effort. She also had one heck of a wit (but was a lousy golfer).

Virginia is survived by a nephew, Steven Anderson of Wichita, Kansas, and his daughter Amber; and another nephew, Robert Anderson and his wife Melanie of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and their three children, Justin, Kristen, & Michelle and her husband Brandon.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar Palmer and Elna Cecelia (Newberg) Anderson; her husbands, Leonard Berger Brown and Dr. Robert Nelson Tindall; and her brother, Royce Clark Anderson and his wife Marjorie Carol (Kraft) Anderson.
