Macy Lynne Goodwin Meservy
1946 - 2020
Early Life: Macy was born April 7, 1946, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Clarence LaVar and Myrtle Alvilde Prestgard Goodwin, the oldest of their five children. She grew up in Riverside California, where she graduated from Riverside Poly High School. She loved to sing and traveled to Europe with her singing group at the age of 18.
Life’s Work | Service | Interests: She attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she met and married Richard Martin Frederick. They moved to Japan with the United States Air Force, where they welcomed their first child, Wendy Ann. When she was eight months pregnant, she returned to Lake Arrowhead, California, to welcome their second child, Jill Marie. School and jobs took them back to Provo, Utah, where Steven Michael was born. Then onto Thayne, Wyoming, where Scott Aaron was born in the neighboring town of Afton.
The family finally settled in Salem, Oregon. Macy worked, raised her children, and attended college at a nearby university. She finished her undergraduate and master’s degree in special education at Western Oregon State College. As a natural educator, Macy taught many children over the years; her special needs students were very dear to her heart.
Macy lived in Singapore for several years with her husband and sons, where she taught 2nd grade at the Singapore American School. She greatly enjoyed living and traveling in the area. Experiencing different cultures, learning phrases in new languages, and appreciating the art and history of the region was exciting for her. She made many friends from all over the world, many of whom she stayed in touch with over the years.
After returning from Singapore, she moved to Provo, Utah. Later, she married Kumen Meservy and moved to Northern California, eventually moving back to Utah to be closer to family.
Macy joined a local choir and performed often. She would sing at family gatherings and around the house. She was very outgoing and made friends wherever she went. She always had her hair and nails done, as she loved to be pampered. She was front and center for family pictures and activities, never wanting to miss out. She called, texted, and mailed her children and grandchildren regularly, always including money in her grandchildren’s birthday cards. She loved her grandchildren and was so proud of them all.
As an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Macy patterned her life on the teachings of her Savior, Jesus Christ. She served in many callings over the years, loved going to the temple, and reading the scriptures. She felt losses very deeply and the tragedies of her life affected her immensely. Her greatest desire was to love and be loved. Her compassion was endless and her loyalty was profound. Macy was diagnosed with COVID-19 on October 7, 2020. She was cared for by the professional and courageous staff at IMC in the Covid ICU unit. Unfortunately, her family could not be with her but the nurses and doctors stepped in with such tender care and grace. Macy's loved ones are forever grateful for these heroic people who cared for her in her last days. Macy Lynne Goodwin Meservy, of Lindon, Utah, passed away November 13, 2020, due to complications of COVID-19. She was 74.
