Visitation 10am in the narthex

Connie Ann Goodrich, 82 years, of Temperance, MI passed away November 9, 2023 in the comfort of her home. The daughter of Dale and Florence (Tanner) Thompson she was born on July 31, 1941 in Marion, OH.

 

Connie was an inspiration to all who knew her. Not only her immediate family but to anyone drawn to her smiling embrace. Her love of people and good times taught many of us to live in the moment, to look forward with promise, and to leave life’s hardships in the past. Even at the worst of times, Connie had a positive outlook on everything.

 

Her joy, service and faith in the church was deep and purposeful. As her health diminished in the past few years her motto was “I may not be here for a long time, but I’m here for a good time!”

 

She was the matriarch of our family. Someone you could count on or call at any time. She loved hanging out with her family, the Bunko girls and her church friends. She was often the life of the party. She loved Perch fishing on Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay and just being in the sunshine! She loved bingo, slot machines and just about any card game you can name.

 

She is survived by sisters, Linda Wolf, Myrna Loo & Susan Shawaker; her loving daughters, Tamara (Michael) Dean and Kim (Steve) Meyer; 3 step-daughters, Donna, Diane & Jill. She was blessed to be Grammy to 9 grandchildren and 7 beautiful great-grandchildren.

 

She was preceded in death by her husbands, Patrick Kalinowski in 1975 and Dan Goodrich in 2020.

 

Visitation will be Monday, November 13, 2023 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. in the Urbanski’s Bedford Funeral Chapel 8300 Lewis Ave Temperance, MI. The funeral mass will be celebrated on Tuesday, November 14, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. in Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church 8330 Lewis Ave Temperance, MI where visiting will begin after 10:00 a.m. in the narthex. Burial will follow in Toledo Memorial Park Cemetery Sylvania, OH.

Connie made a difference in as many peoples lives. I was lucky to have shared so many joyful times with her. I will truly miss her welcoming me home from wherever I was returning from as she enjoyed the sun on her porch. A drink and chatting on the porch always so special. My deepest sympathy to her family. Kathy

We have the good luck to live nextdoor to Tamera Dean, one of Connie's daughters, and have grown to love their whole family. Meeting Connie when she came to visit, we saw her love of fun and play, and a love for her family that was unquenchable. Our hearts go out to the family in this time of loss.

Our deepest condolences to all of Connie's family. We always enjoyed seeing Connie & Dan at the early masses at OLMC. They did a great job when they took over running the funeral luncheon program. She was so cute. Seems that we just saw her & another woman at Magdalena's a couple of wks. ago as we enjoyed our ritual Monday Margarita night. She looked great. May she rest in peace. Pat and Jim Lammers
