In Memory of Bea Goodrich of Ossining

Beatrice M. “Bea” Goodrich, 76, of Ossining, NY died on May 5, 2013.

She was born January 10, 1937 in Norwalk, CT, the beloved first daughter of the late Albert R. and the late Hazel (McLaughlin) Fancher of Bedford, NY.

A 1954 graduate of Bedford Hills HS., she attended New Paltz Teachers College and received a professional certificate from Berkeley Secretarial School in White Plains.

Bea then began to devote her entire life to caring for and helping others near and far, while all the time lovingly nurturing her three toy poodles and Snoopy. It is safe to say that Bea truly possessed a heart of gold and a wonderful sense of humor that enabled her to transcend any adversity that came her way. She will be greatly missed by her friends, neighbors, and her devoted family.

She was predeceased by her husband, Philip Goodrich in 1990. 
Bea is survived by her step children: Susan Goodrich of FL and David Goodrich; her  brother Russell Fancher (Jean) of Katonah, NY, her sister Linda Hopkins (Leonard Wallace) of Westbrookville, NY, two nieces Christine Fancher (Dan Ducibella) of South Salem, NY and Alison Sahm ( Edward) of Katonah, NY, one nephew Christopher Hopkins of Westbrookville, NY, and one grand niece Kiya and two grand nephews Shawn and Callisto.
