Virginia L. (Richardson) Godaire

Our dear mother Virginia (Ginger) Lee Godaire went to her heavenly home on December 14, 2024 at the age of 92. She was the daughter of the late Harold Richardson and Margaret Keesee Richardson of Syracuse, New York. She was the widow of Richard L Godaire (1999) and former wife of the late William E Chamberlain (2020).

Mother will be greatly missed by her 6 children and their families: Peggy Pelletier, Karen Swanson, Scott Chamberlain, Cynthia Perna, Russell Chamberlain, and David Chamberlain. She was blessed with 9 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

Mother loved life and enjoyed visiting new places, playing the piano, participating in bingo games, and being with her grandchildren. She loved the arts especially ballet performances, skating competitions, and classical music concerts. She was also a sports fan and enjoyed watching NASCAR races and football games (a true Patriots fan).
