She lived in Los Angeles for numerous years and wed her second husband, producer of Peanuts and Garfield TV specials, Lee Mendelson. After many years together they then separated and divorced. Around 1993, Goyette married fellow Peanuts and Garfield music contributor Ed Bogas, to whom she is still married to and whom she had twins named Benjamin and Lily (born 2001).
On the first three seasons of Garfield and Friends, Goyette co-wrote all of her songs for the Garfield segments with future husband Ed Bogas.[2] She also contributed her voice to several songs and characters on the show, most notably Nermal. She also teamed with Joey Scarbury for the song, "Flashbeagle" for It's Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown. Goyette writes and records inspirational albums with her company Lightchild Publishing.
