PORTLAND — Mary Louise Goodridge, 88, of Portland, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, July. 18, at Maine Medical Center following a long battle with cancer and more recently a stroke.

Mary was a Past Matron and Life Member of Cornerstone Chapter #193 for over 50 years. There will be an Eastern Star Service at 11:00 a.m.
She enjoyed spending time with her son and going on trips with him to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Western & Central Maine. One thing she liked to do on day trips was to stop at a CN Brown and have a steamed red hot dog with her son. She liked going with her son to motorcycle swap meets and sit and eat fried dough and watch people walk by. Mary was very friendly and enjoyed talking to anyone she came in contact with her. People would always mention how nice it was to share stories with her.
She is survived by her loving son Eric Ernest Goodridge of Portland who took care of her since her diagnoses in 2002.
Her son would like to thank Dr. Roger Enhorn Director of the Oncology/Hematology Center at Mercy Fore River and his staff for taking great care of his mother. He would also like to thank Dr. Donna Greenwood of Portland Internal Medicine at Baxter Boulevard for caring for his mother.
There are two people that Eric would like to acknowledge and thank and they are his best friend David Dadiego and his wife Melissa Dadiego. Without their help, Mary would not have been able to spend time at home before her passing.
