Grace was born March 9, 1922, in Hammond, LA, and passed away peacefully

activities, including leading a troop of Girl Scouts, volunteering as a 
parent at Westdale Elementary and Catholic High, and volunteering for many 
years at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center. She also was active as a member 
of the Isaac Monet chapter of The Colonial Dames of the XVII Century, as 
well as Circle 6 of the Women in Ministry at First Presbyterian Church. 
Grace enjoyed life a lot, including belonging to the "Bayou Brigade" and 
later "The Revelers" dance clubs, as well as dining and creating fine 
cuisine using flavors from all over the world. She was preceded in death by 
her mother, Daisy Ward Goodwin, father, James Milton Goodwin, two brothers, 
Charles Goodwin and James Goodwin, Jr., a sister, Fatie Alexander Simmons, 
and a niece, Barbara Goodwin Saucier. Visitation will be Thursday, July 12,

donations be made to your favorite charity. Arrangements by Rabenhorst 
Funeral Home, 825 Government St.
