She is also survived by several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, throughout the United States. She was preceded in death by her companion of many years, John Cecil Griffin and her parents, Cecil and Wilma McGlone Goddard. As an only child, Cecilia had an adventurous spirit. She worked as a key employee for the US Army, Center for Disease Control and other US Government organizations. Her family would often joke about her whereabouts, asking her what “istan” country was she in that day, while serving in her capacity as a civilian liaison for several joint United States and international programs. Cecilia loved life and loved traveling! She traveled the world, as recently as last month to Italy. She especially loved Ireland and Europe.
