Margaret “Peg” Goodrich, of Williamsburg, died peacefully on Monday, Dec. 22, 2014, at the age of 93.
Peg was born in Jacksonville, Florida on Nov. 14, 1921, daughter of the late James and Margaret Wilkinson. She lived in Washington during most of her early years, later moving to Kansas City, Missouri. At the beginning of WWII, she enlisted in the Coast Guard Women’s Auxiliary, SPARS and was stationed in Seattle, Washington. It was there she met and married her future husband, Phil Goodrich.
After the war Peg and Phil settled in Ithaca, Michigan, and she lived in that area until 2001 when she moved to Williamsburg.
Peg enjoyed all forms of needlework, and her family will cherish the many quilts that she made for them over the years. She also loved to spend time gardening, playing bridge and decorating dollhouses that she and her husband built.
Peg was preceded in death by her husband of 37 years, Phil Goodrich.
She is survived by her children, Peggy Barron (Dick), of Williamsburg, Jim Goodrich, of Michigan and Phyllis Bryan, of St. Croix, Virgin Islands; seven grandchildren; and 10 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by a sister, Sally McCann, of Ohio and a brother, Bob Wilkinson, of Maryland.
A private burial will be held at a later date in Michigan.
Donations may be made in Peg’s memory to Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg or a favorite charity.
The family wishes to extend a special thank-you to the caring staff at Chambrel’s Assisted Living center.
Please leave online condolences for the family at Bucktrout Funeral Home.
