Patricia Goodrich

Patricia Jean Goodrich (84) of Post Falls, Idaho, passed away at her home Wednesday, January 11, 2012. She was born July 7, 1927 in Chinook, Montana to Jens & Rose Marie (Hartley) Spring. Patricia had a personality that drew people to her. The most important one was her lifetime love and husband of 56 years, William. They created so many memories together, including their son and daughter, Bill Goodrich and Trish Caruso. Family was very important to Patricia and her family always knew how much she loved them. The outdoors and especially fishing were things she enjoyed. She had many friends and wonderful times spent with them as well. Patricia was an accountant and stayed busy working until she was 83. A good work ethic was very important to her and she was happy when she worked. She kept up with technology, and had an I-phone and I-pad before her children. Her favorite game to play on "her" i-pad was 'Angry Birds', and don't forget the hours playing on the Wii. Patricia is survived by 2 children: son, Bill & Joyce Goodrich of Lake Tahoe, CA and daughter, Trish & Larry Caruso of Post Falls, grandson Sean Fleming, granddaughters Marnie & Kevin Serr and Denyse & Dave Kroll. There are also 3 great grandchildren, Jake Serr, Kylie and Carson Kroll. She is preceded in death by her husband, William C. Goodrich. We LOVE and will MISS you Mom. Give Dad a big hug and kiss for us. We will always remember the lessons you taught us and cherish the memories. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to the American Cancer Society.
