DOROTHY GOODMAN Obituary

GOODMAN, Dorothy Of Falmouth and formerly of Wrentham and Chelsea, died peacefully on July 22, 2017 at the age of 92. Beloved wife of the late Kenneth Goodman for over 60 years.

Dorothy leaves three loving children, Lori Bellavance of North Attleboro, Scott Goodman of Williamston, SC and Glen Goodman and his wife, Rachel of Wrentham. Also loving grandmother to Ian, Noelle, Lore, Scott Jr., Lauren, Kim, Mark, and Drew. Her family was her life. Having been orphaned for portions of her childhood, she knew the strength of love.

Although she retired as a very successful full-time office administrator, Mom was always in her true glory after she arrived home. Den mother, Little League wiz, school activities director, term paper editor, ham radio operator and friend to all - that is her legacy.

Relatives and friends are kindly invited to attend a graveside service at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, July 28 at the Massachusetts National Cemetery in Bourne. Service under the direction of Chapman Cole & Gleason Funeral Home in FALMOUTH.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Dorothy and Kenneth Goodman Memorial Scholarship Fund at King Philip Regional High School, 201 Franklin St., Wrentham, MA 02093 will be appreciated.

We lived at opposite ends of our huge country, but I remember my first cousin, Dorothy, when she visited my family when we lived in Revere. We were very fond of all the Leavitts, growing up as they did without a mother or father. How we admired all of them! Kind, honest and hard working people. And now, the last has left this life. I remain sorry I did not get to see you again when you came to California. Another special moment missed! I hope your journey forward is gentle and kind to you, Dorothy. Until we
meet again, your cousin, Lyn.
