About	Wanda Goldspink, 54, of Milwaukie, Oregon was born on September 19, 1968, to Robert and Carol Allworth in Portland, Oregon. She and her husband, Chris Goldspink, passed away on August 5, 2023. Chris and Wanda attended Rex Putnam High School together. They met during their sophomore and junior years, remaining together, and engaged for many years while raising a family, until finally marrying on October 5, 2013, in Las Vegas, Nevada with their son, Will, and Daughter-in-law, Emily, present. They had been together for nearly 40 years at the time of their passing. Wanda’s career path found her working at Mail-Well Envelope as a machine operator from 1996-2002. When the company was sold to McKay Envelope, she continued her role until 2012. For the last ten years, Wanda had been combatting the effects of her chronic Illness, with the steadfast support and care from Chris. They both enjoyed various hobbies to fill their time; Wanda loved puzzles, having completed many intricate pieces, and having them hung in her home to admire. She enjoyed any kind of “brain games,” and could often be found with word-finds, sudoku, or playing solitaire, mahjong tiles, or bejeweled on her tablet. She enjoyed reading anything written by Stephen King; Needful Things being her favorite book. While raising her children, she was always volunteering at their school or chaperoning school functions. Chris and Wanda were a fun and loving couple. Wanda was considered a cool, fun mom by her children and their friends. She was funny and always happy. Making others laugh was one of her greatest joys, and she valued any time she got to spend with friends and family. She was a huge animal lover and especially loved black labs. Wanda could be counted on to laugh at any of Chris’s dad's jokes. She was born with a naturally sweet and kind soul, a heart of gold, a big smile for everyone she met, and was always a joy to be around. Wanda’s memory will be cherished as a wonderful mother, wife, and friend to all who knew her. Her smile and laugh will be missed. Her caring spirit and generous heart could be felt by anyone she encountered. She had a special gift of not only seeing the good in people but bringing out the best in them as well. Chris and Wanda are survived by their daughter, Nicole Larkins, and son-in-law Mason; their son, William Goldspink, and daughter-in-law Emily; granddaughters, Makenzie and Molly; Chris’s mother, Kathy Borem and stepfather Lyle Borem, and his siblings: Ben Goldspink and wife Marsha Goldspink; Tiffany McCrum and partner Dion; and Geoff Goldspink; Wanda’s siblings: Bob Allworth and wife Kathy Allworth; Terrilynn Allworth-Roshay and husband Michael Roshay; Jeff Allworth and wife Sheila Thomas; as well as numerous extended family. We can all find solace in knowing that they have been reunited with the family that predeceased them: Chris’s grandparents Pearl and Ralph Speece, and his father Bill; Wanda’s parents Rob and Carol Allworth; and their first granddaughter Makayla. What a joyous reunion it must have been for them all. Close friends and family will gather at Lincoln Memorial Park and Funeral Home, for a private service in honor of Chris and Wanda.
