Dorothy Adella Goff

On March 17th, 1955, Dorothy married Virgil Goff. Soon after, they moved to San Antonio, Texas, while Virgil served in the army. During this time, she worked at the country's second largest film studio where they printed and hand painted photos. She was one of the top workers there. When Virgil was discharged, they moved back to Payette where Dorothy worked at Copeland's Film Studio.

In 1958 and 1961 they had their two children, Leah and Terry, whom Dorothy lived for. While she raised her children, she worked at Payette Cider and Vinegar Plant. Jim Rich hired her since he was the boss, but she loved those people so much she believed it was "her plant" and "her crew".

Dorothy enjoyed many things. Her granddaughters were some of the highlights of her life and she loved spending as much time as she could with the girls. She also greatly enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, gardening, and spending her summers in New Meadows. After retirement, Dorothy and Virgil became snowbirds and went south to Yuma, Arizona, for the winter. They loved going to jam sessions to enjoy good music, and playing Mexican Train Dominos with their friends and family there.

Dorothy was on dialysis for years and made many close friends there. She loved the girls who worked there; they built her up and showed her love and compassion. They helped make a bad situation bearable. The family would like to thank the group at DaVita for loving and caring for her.

February 2016 marks when Leah and Terry moved their parents from Payette down to Kuna to live with Terry and his wife, Cheryl. We, the kids and grandkids, are so thankful for being able to spend this past year with them. We loved the gift God gave to us.

Dorothy is survived by her husband Virgil, her daughter Leah (Gregg) Rowe, son Terry (Cheryl) Goff, Lorrie Percifield, their grandchildren Erin (Devin) Robinson, Hannah Rowe, Savannah "Georgie" Rowe, two great grandchildren, Jude and Charlie Robinson, sisters-in-law Pansy Johnson, Betty (Ernie) Gentry, Ethel Goff, Joyce Goff, cousin Maxine (Wes) Johnson, 30+ nieces and nephews, and her beloved pup Frankie.

We'll talk to you later, Grandma.
