Johnnie's obituary
Johnnie then began volunteering beginning with Crisis Hotline in Houston, where she was recognized for her many hours of service. After Jim's retirement, they moved to their beloved Lonesum Pine, and Johnnie volunteered at the Fayette Public Library and Second Chance Emporium. Expanding on her love of quilting, she began making and donating quilts for Jim to take on his annual mission work-trips to Mexico with the CUPS organization, accompanied by grandchildren and local youth, providing an excellent example of giving and kindness. Johnnie hosted a monthly quilting group which continued sending quilts to disadvantaged children in Mexico and to area community groups.
Family was important to "Grandmother" and she made cherished quilts for each of her children and grandchildren, attended children's and grandchildren's events, played cards with them, made yeast rolls and jelly with them, baked dewberry cobbler and snickerdoodles when grandchildren and great grandchildren came to visit, and took them to her garden. All will remember her gifts of time and kindness.
Johnnie Marie is survived by her loving children, Jimmie Lee Grossman, John Davis (JD) Goodrich and wife Candy, Jay Samuel Goodrich (Sam) and wife Jo Ann; grandchildren Tina Goodrich, Chad Dailey and wife Yvonne, Jeanna Balreira and husband Cabral, Marc Goodrich and wife Sarah, Jamie Goodrich, and Julie Harrison and husband Troy. She is also survived by great grandchildren Josh Mugica, Lincoln Dailey, EJ Balreira, and Jude Goodrich; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. All have been blessed by having a special place in her long life.
Johnnie joins with the Lord Jesus, her beloved husband, Jim Goodrich; sister, Rosemary Bell; great granddaughter, Jessica Mugica; and other loved extended family members.
In memory of Johnnie, donations may be made to CUPS at cupsmission.org
A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date.
