Marie Julie Pfeiffer Goff, one of the most soulful people to walk this earth, has passed away at the age of 103 years, 4 months, and 25 days on Saturday, December 20, 2025. As a centenarian, her youthful spirit was inspirational to all who knew her.
Born to the late Eli and Frances Pfeiffer on July 25, 1922, she had curls like Shirley Temple and was the apple of her daddy’s eye. Although she was born in Minnesota, she called Kenosha her home, growing up on 10th Ave and Washington Rd. It was on this block that she and the boy she would one day marry, Allan Goff, laughed and played together as children. Allan passed away in 2020 at the age of 97. They had just celebrated 74 years of marriage.
Marie served us in the US Coast Guard as part of the SPARS program. SPARS was the official nickname for the United States Coast Guard (USCG) Women’s Reserve. The nautical acronym was derived from the USCG’s motto, Latin: “Semper Paratus”—”Always Ready” (SPAR).[Note 1] The Women’s Reserve was established by law in November 1942 during World War II. The law authorized the USCG to accept women into its Women’s Reserve as commissioned officers and at the enlisted level for the duration of World War II plus six months. Its purpose was to release male officers and enlisted men for sea duty by replacing them with women at shore stations.
