Jean L. Goddard
GREENWICH, Conn. - Jean Lane Goddard, 72, a resident of Greenwich for almost 50 years, died March 23, at Greenwich Hospital.
Stanhope Scott Goddard of Greenwich, her husband, said the cause of death was a massive stroke.
Known as "Chris," Mrs. Goddard's major interests were religion, music, sports and international events; and she was involved in community and club affairs.
Her father was the late Maryland Gov. William Preston Lane Jr.
She and her husband were married
in June 1950 at Government House in Annapolis, Md., and settled in Greenwich.
She was a member of Christ Church Greenwich, but left that church in 1959 and became a member of St. Barnabas Church, where she was a lay reader, acted as a chalice bearer, assisted in weekly mailings and served on the gardening crew, among other duties.
Mr. and Mrs. Goddard were co-chairmen of District 8 for the Greenwich Community Chest in 1956, and, in 1958, she assisted her husband when he was chairman of the Greenwich Health Association.
She also played golf and tennis and twice won the Holleran golf trophy at the Round Hill Club. For a short time, she was a member of the Hortulus garden club.
Her interest in politics never wavered and, on occasion, she took her sons to Washington to meet members of Congress. In recent years, she served as an assistant registrar of voters at polling places in Greenwich.
Born June 22, 1927, in Hagerstown, she was a daughter of the late Gov. Lane and the late Dorothy Byron Lane. She attended Greenwood School in Ruxton, Md., and graduated from Westover School in Waterbury in 1945. In 1949, she received a bachelor's degree in political science from Vassar College.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Goddard is survived by three sons, S. Scott Goddard III of Boulder, Colo., Preston Lane Goddard of West Norwalk and Edward Quinby Goddard of Bethesda, Md.; a sister, Dorothy Lane Campbell of Falmouth, Mass.; and six grandchildren.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. April 15 at St. Barnabas Church, with the Rev. Richard Van Wely and the Rev. Worthington Campbell, her brother-in-law, officiating.
Donations may be made in her memory to St. Barnabas Church, 954 Lake Ave.; or to Carver Center, c/o St. Barnabas Church.
