- Welcome to Daley Life Celebration Studio, where we Celebrate the Color of Life.
Tanya L. Goodwin
At work she was all work, but at home she was a joyous mom. Everything in Swedesboro from the fire department to the municipal works ran like a top thanks to Tanya, a borough clerk for the ages. Always a Tom Boy she excelled in sports at Upper Darby High. And she never lost her competitive spirit: if her kids beat her in board games, cards or horseshoes they knew it was a legit win. Later in life she bowled at Woodstown Lanes. Though as competitive as she was she did lose one battle. After a few cordials on her son’s 21st birthday she took on a mechanical bull: bull won, her ankle shattered. Tanya’s Tivo was full to the brim of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Relaxing times found her heading off to the Outer Banks, drinking a little wine, eating crabs and avoiding the beach. Her shoe collection put Imelda Marcos to shame. Even in death Tanya gave life through her organ donations with the Sharing Network.
Family vacations found three year old Tanya Norsworthy meeting a kid named Bill Goodwin who was eight. Fifteen years later they’d start dating. Their 30 year marriage was blessed by two children: Brooke (Ryan) Goodwin-Hurst and Billy . She is survived by her parents, Patricia and Kenneth Norsworthy; her parents-in-law, Bill and Charlotte Goodwin; and her sister, Nicole English( Mark)
Come celebrate 49 great years Tuesday 9-11 a.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, Swedesboro where there will be a storytime service at 11 a.m. Interment Lake Park Cemetery, Woolwich Twp. In lieu of flowers, donations to St Jude Hospital (Stjude.org) will be appreciated.

As a member of Swedesboro Council it was a pleasure to work with her on the many issues facing our residents. She was always willing to help our no matter how busy she was. It is going to be extremely difficult to find anyone like her to fill her shoes. Rest now with the angels dear friend.
My heartfelt sympathies to your family. May you cherish the memories you shared in these extremely difficult times. I am so very sorry for your loss. Prayers.
My heart is so sad for you all. I will cherish the memories we have made forever… CMA Fest in Nashville… It was 10k degrees but we made it lol..

I know in my heart Tanya lived the best life she possibly could. Always loving, caring, raising two amazing children, great wife and of course loved to have fun (got me in trouble w Fireball many times lol ????) gone way to soon… Thank you for always being such an inspiring woman and friend.. miss u much… See you on the other side xo ????
My heart aches. Deepest sympathies for the family. I know she was loved by many. I am eternally grateful that I had an opportunity to reconnect with her recently and share a hug and a laugh. Her laugh still plays in my memory as it was so full of joy. I wish she could have stayed with us but fate had a different plan. I’d love to rage against that fate but I am powerless to change it or to truly understand the purpose of taking such a wonderful person way too soon. I am grateful for my wonderful memories of her as they are needed to sustain me through the grief. Rest in Peace Tanya.
