Alice Virginia "Ginger" Goddard, 84, has joined her husband of 67 years, Alva Goddard, on the other side. There to meet her, too, are her parents, Alice and Earnest Buck, with brother, JB Buck.

Ginger dearly loved, and is survived by, her children: Annette Goddard (Keith), Shelly Sensing (Andy), and Ed Goddard (Sheri). She is also survived by her sisters: Ardell Watts and Verla Riley; as well as, her 7 grandchildren and spouses; 11 great grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Ginger lived most of her life in Archie, MO, briefly in Harrisonville, MO, and her final years in Ashland City, TN, with Shelly and Andy. Anyone who remotely knows Ginger knows how much she loved her Iris Gardens. She spent many happy days (and years!) in the sunshine with dirt under her fingernails. Ginger will be remembered for her years of service to the American Legion Auxiliary especially enjoying her time participating in the Missouri Girls State program, and her enjoyment of participating in the garden City choir's Easter cantata for as many years as possible. Having worked many years in the toy department at Walmart, her favorite job was as assistant to her master carpenter husband, Alva.

While we are sad for our loss, we are happy for Ginger's peace and freedom.

There are no services planned but will have a memorial picnic on Oct 3, 2026, at Ed and Sheri's at 1005 Maple Ln in Harrisonville, MO. In lieu of flowers, donations to Suncrest Hospice in Clarksville, TN, are much appreciated. https://lhcgroup.com/foundation/
