Doris Goodrich

Doris Marie Goodrich, left us peacefully on February 13, 2025. Doris was born in Richmond, California, on July 22, 1954, to Katherine (Lopez) and Melburn "Mel" Williams. She was the firstborn of six children, setting an example of strength, compassion, and love for her siblings. A proud graduate of Richmond High School, Doris married the love of her life, Gregory "Greg" Goodrich, in 1978. The couple settled in Fairfield, California where they built a life filled with love, laughter, and four wonderful children: Joseph and Jimmy Jimerson, Matthew and Adam Goodrich. Doris was a dedicated mother, always placing the needs of her family above her own. In her professional life, Doris worked at various roles in the community. She spent many years at Suisun Roofing Supply, the Cordelia Fire Protection District, and ultimately retired from the Solano Cemetery District as the General Manager. Her passion for service extended beyond her work as she volunteered her time and energy to numerous ministries at Grace Baptist Church, helping wherever her children went to school, and supporting the people she cared about. Doris' love for family was immeasurable. She cherished family vacations, camping trips, and enjoyed countless bowling nights with her loved ones. Gardening brought her peace, and her nurturing spirit extended to her 11 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, whom she adored with all her heart. Doris was a mother figure to many, always there with a listening ear, wise counsel, and an open heart. Her life was one of deep faith and unwavering dedication to God. She loved serving others, whether through her church, her family, or her community. Doris’ kindness and generosity of spirit touched everyone she met, and she will be remembered as a woman who lived her life with grace, compassion, and devotion. Doris was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Greg; her father, Mel; her son, Jimmy and daughter in law Shannon Jimerson. Doris is survived by her mother Katherine Sprau; siblings Andy Williams (Marie), Susie Goins, Keith Williams (Luanne), Linnet Hammond (LT), Leah Peyton; her children Joseph (Shea), Matthew (Melissa), Adam (Kristina); grandchildren Crystal (Israel), Zachary (Briana), Isaac (Jackie), Kathryn, Samantha, Marie, Elijah, Alexis, Eddie, Jaxon, and Olivia; 6 great grandchildren, and a host of extended family and friends who were blessed to know her. Doris’s legacy of love, service, and faith will continue to inspire all who knew her. May she rest in peace, embraced by the love she so freely gave. A memorial service will be held Thursday February 27, 2025, at 10:30 am at the Rockville Stone Chapel, followed by a graveside burial at Rockville Cemetery, 4219 Suisun Valley Road, Fairfield. The burial will be followed by a reception and celebration of life at Rockville Cemetery reception hall.
