Grace was an active member of Prince of Peace Episcopal Church, Dallas. She was an avid bridge player and belonged to several bridge clubs. She was a Red Cross volunteer and a volunteer with Meals on Wheels. She was a dedicated fan of Dallas football for all five sons and her grandsons.

In addition to her parents, Grace was preceded in death by her husband, Carl, in 1996; her brother, Alfred Keay; her sister, Jane Merkle; and daughter-in-law, Aine McDowell Goeringer.

From your friends at Fino's Pharmacy, we are very sorry to hear about Mrs. Goeringer. I loved her! She was so quirky and we discussed beauticians in length many times on finding the right one! She did, a barber!! We will miss her and her phone calls. Prayers to all of her family.
