The Powhatan Christmas Mother
Lastly, we can’t forget about this year’s Powhatan Christmas mother, Wendy Goodwyn. She has lived in Powhatan va since 1976. She worked her way into the banking industry but decided her love for kids was more important to her and opened “Kountry Kids” daycare in 1992. Full of love and care. Family after family attends the daycare knowing they are in good hands. Wendy and her husband have been married and keeping it strong for 40 years, congratulations to them.
She has retired from the daycare but is still helping out families in the community by volunteer work! She stays busy organizing toy drives, pet food drives, and selling sweatshirts and ornaments where proceeds go to help community families in need.
