GOOGE, DOROTHY STOKES WATSON 
After fighting a courageous fight with pulmonary disease, Dorothy Mae 
Stokes Googe (Watson) went home to heaven at 6:05 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 17,
2008, at Hospice of Baton Rouge. She was 77, born in Tangipahoa Parish and
a longtime resident of Denham Springs. Visitation will be held at Seale 
Funeral Home, Denham Springs, on Sunday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. until 
religious service at 1 p.m., conducted by the Rev. Craig James of Don 
Avenue Baptist Church. Graveside services will be held at Pine Ridge United 
Methodist Church Cemetery in Kentwood on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. She is 
survived by her husband, Edward Googe, of Baton Rouge; two daughters, 
Connie W. Porter and her husband, Marvin Gene Porter II, of Walker, and 
Terri W. Bell (Mouch), of Denham Springs; two sons, David W. Watson and his
wife, Barbara Duval Watson, of Kentwood, and C. Raymond Watson and his 
wife, Lisa Landry Watson, of Denham Springs; and nine grandchildren, Chris
and Sean Porter, Katie Watson Davis, Lindsey Watson O'Neil, Bradley 
Watson, Jeremy Mouch, Kayla Mouch, Lauren Watson Connor and Daniel Watson.
She also leaves behind four great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and 
nephews; three sisters, Lexie Mae Easley, Laverne Mae Wall and Margaret Ann 
Magliola; and two brothers, Aubrey and Corley Stokes. She was preceded in
death by her husband of 37 years, Julius A. Watson, who was of St. Helena 
Parish; a daughter, Susan Dianne Watson; father, Otto Stokes, who was of 
Tangipahoa Parish; mother, Cora Lee (Lebo), who was of Washington Parish; 
brothers, James and Otto Jr.; and a sister, Annie Mae Cox Jones. 
Pallbearers will be Chris Porter, Sean Porter, Jeremy Mouch, Daniel Watson, 
Bradley Watson, Sammy Magliola and Michael Magliola. She was an Avon 
representative for more than 20 years and was affectionately known to many
as "The Avon Lady." She was a very religious, loving, patient mother/
grandmother/great-grandmother/sister/friend who will be missed by all that
knew her. She loved her family and left this earthly world with that love 
instilled in each and every one of us. One of her greatest joys was the 
holidays and cooking for her family and those in need of a family. She 
never met a stranger and believed in opening her door and heart to those 
in need of a place to come home to. She loved to travel, and until her 
recent illness, kept her bags packed for the next adventure. Words can 
never express the loss her family and friends will feel with maw maw's 
passing.
