She and her husband, Mark, make their home in Austin, cheering on their theatre-loving son, Graham. Their daughter, Tylar, is a chaplain in Norman, Oklahoma with her husband, Spencer, and their son Wilkes is pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre at Otterbein University in Ohio. The Goodner family continues to share a deep love for music, storytelling, and the communities that grow from them.
