Donnie, as he was known to his family, will be missed by his three surviving sisters, Joan, Glenda & Peggy. He was also preceded in death by our parents, James I. and Eva Helton Goddard.
The staff of Southern Cremations and Funerals at Cheatham Hill wish to express our sincere condolences to the Goddard family.
Uncle Donnie was such a great man. He will be missed so much. No matter how long it had been since we had seen each other, he was always interested in what was happening in our family. I know that his sisters all looked up to him, loved him so much, and have such great memories of this previous rebel rouser, wise big brother, Sailor, and all around wonderful man. Prayers for Aunt Doris, Tracy and Jim and their families.
Love,
Kim and Rick
