Meta Booge Going, loving wife of
John “Jack” Shirley Going, who
predeceased her in 1998, passed
peacefully in her sleep July 21,
2009. She was born in Pasadena,
California in 1915. She graduated
from Girls Collegiate School.
Friends and memories from there
stayed with her for the rest of her
life.
Meta met Jack when she was
fourteen and they courted
until married in 1934. They raised their family in South
Pasadena. She was an active support in their developing
agricultural enterprises. When Jack retired, foreign travel
became an important part of their life. When not traveling,
Jack and Meta were proud, active and dedicated members
of the Newport Harbor Yacht Club. Living within close
walking distance, the membership and its activities became
the center of their life.
Meta is survived by her children Captain Jack Going
(Billie) and Sally Going Westcott (Clark); Grandchildren,
Bradford Westcott, Wendy Westcott Burgoon, Lindsey
Going, Carey Going Levash and was predeceased by Tanya
Nelson; Great grandchildren, Ben Burgoon,Tully Burgoon,
Bree Westcott, Clay Westcott, Julian Levash and Luke
Nelson.
We thank all that were lovingly involved in her life. A
grateful thank you to her caregivers Caryl and Stephanie.
Desiring neither a memorial nor fl owers, Meta would have
been pleased by a remembrance to the Alta Bahia of the O.
C. Philharmonic or NHYC Mother Sabots.
