After working briefly in banking in Colorado, her father said she moved east got a degree from Old Dominion University in Virginia, becoming a poet and English teacher. She was working as a substitute teacher in Minneapolis, he said.
Her first husband told the AP that Good had previously worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union before spending some time as a stay-at-home mother in recent years.
Good was widowed when her husband Timmy Ray Macklin Jr. died in 2023 at age 36, the Tribune reported. He was the father of her 6-year-old son; AP reported that Good's two older children are a 12-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter.
