1938 - 2024
Mary Louise Goodrich went to meet our Lord on May 24, 2024. Our beloved mother was born Mary Louise Grohman on July 5, 1938, to Matilda and Adolf Grohman, in String Prairie Texas. Mary was one of 13 children. Her family moved to San Antonio when Mary was 6 years old. Mary attended Little Flower grade school and Providence High School.
She married David Joseph Goodrich, and they built a loving family over 6 decades together, nurturing and providing for their 8 children. Mary worked in part-time jobs over the years, and when her children were older, she worked full time as a loan officer at St. Benedict’s and St. Gerard’s (Fellowship) Credit Union.
Mary was loved by all who knew her, including her large extended family, her lifelong and new friends, and everyone she interacted with at work, school, and church. Mary will be remembered by her strong trust and faith in God that carried her through her journeys in life. Mary never knew a stranger because she was so friendly and a light to all. She passed on her strong faith to her 8 children, 19 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Mary's husband, David Joseph and her son David Anthony, preceded her in death.
Mary is survived by her children Michael Joseph, Janet Marie, Susan Dianne, Margaret Catherine, John Paul, Glenn Andrew, and Mary Melinda.

Mrs. Goodrich was one of the sweetest and most loving women that I have ever known. She was a wonderful mother and was an extremely positive role model as a human being and child of GOD. I have such great memories of her from my childhood. My condolences to her family.

When we moved to the east side I met Mary. What a great lady and a dear friend. I was a amazed at her. She was a super woman and a great Mom. How she managed to care for her large family in her small house with one bathroom still amazes me today. I worked outside the home and I found taking care of two little ones, usually on my own, because of my husband working graveyard shift and National Guard duties. She was so supportive and positive.
