Early life
Gooder was born in 1924 in Ruawai, where she grew up on the family farm and attended Ruawai School with her two sisters. The farm was lost during the Depression and the family moved to Takapuna, where Gooder was enrolled at Takapuna Grammar School.[5]
Career
Gooder worked as a clerk for North Shore Transport before training in England as a nurse.[4] She trained in psychiatric nursing at Netherne Hospital and later trained in general nursing.[5] She was awarded a gold medal for nursing at the St James Hospital in London.[5]
Gooder became a pioneer of integrated nursing, the inclusion of psychiatric considerations in treating patients, and published articles promoting the approach.[4] She worked as a senior nurse at Oakley Hospital in Auckland from the early 1960s,[4] and then in 1974 moved to Mt Eden Prison, where she was appointed as head nurse. She worked at the prison until her sudden death from stroke in 1983.[4]
Private life
As a teenager Gooder had a boyfriend, who was killed in 1942 while serving overseas when his Wellington bomber crashed.[4] Gooder was however a lesbian, and sought help for her attraction to women at the Queen Mary Hospital in Hanmer Springs.[4] There a staff member suggested to her that "she simply had to accept who she was".[4] Gooder later formed a life-long relationship with a nurse she met at Oakley Hospital.[4]
