Myra Gooding Obituary
Centerville, MA - Myra Elizabeth Davies Gooding
Born January 1, 1942 in Eardisley Herefordshire England
Died June, 11, 2025 in Hyannis, Massachusetts
Myra Gooding passed away in Cape Cod Hospital after having lived a life full of love, hard work, creativity, and optimistic energy. Being invited to sit in her Craigville garden near the shed "Hafod," was much desired. Myra noticed everything around her, especially nature's beguiling details. She loved the village surrounding the Christian Camp Meeting Association's Tabernacle in Craigville,
A delightful friend and a devoted mother, grandmother and a faithful sister to her family in England, Myra made nurturing people a priority.
She leaves her husband of 63 years, Peter Gooding of Craigville, MA., and two children: Milton Gooding of MA and Zoe Gooding Wilmot of Rochester, NY. Her seven grandchildren she nurtured with abundant love: Kassidy, Lola, Davis, Crosby and Wyatt Wilmot of Rochester, New York; and Griffin and Grady Gooding of Duxbury, Massachusetts.
There will be a celebration of Myra's life to be announced later.

A truly wonderful woman. We became fast friends when she asked me to speak at my 20th reunion at Amherst College. My heart goes out to my great friend, Peter and their wonderful family.

The entire Smith family is so sad to learn of Myra´s passing. She was just a wonderful lady who was always so gracious to all of us. Peter and Myra arrived as a young couple my sophomore year in1968, and Myra and Peter became an important part of Amherst College over the years and had such a positive important impact on the lives of so many students including me and three of my children. Our thoughts and prayers are with Peter, Milton and Zoe. Win Smith `71

Myra was unique, an angel among us, and such a caring friend to so
many of us. We will never forget her joy, her goodness, her bright
spirit, and we pray she is at heavenly peace forever.
