A memorial service for former Umatilla County Sheriff’s Deputy Jan Good will be held on June 21 in Pendleton.
The service will be held at 11 a.m. at the Vert Auditorium, 480 S.W. Dorion Ave. A reception will follow at the auditorium’s Club Room. Reservations are not needed, but would be appreciated by emailing sterrin.ward@umatillacounty.gov.
Good, who died Friday, June 9, began her law enforcement career in 1978 as the first female officer for the Pilot Rock Police Department. At a time when female officers were a rare thing anywhere, she became a pioneer and made her mark in a male-dominated profession.
After attaining the rank of sergeant with Pilot Rock Police Department, Good joined the Umatilla County Sheriff’s Office in 2000. She worked as a marine deputy and a domestic violence investigator and volunteered as the captain of the Sheriff’s Office Mounted Posse, and a member of search and rescue.
