She graduated from Waverly High School and Massey-Ferguson Business College (poss also known as Smithdeal-Massey Business College in Richmond, VA.) She worked for the Commonwealth of Virginia, Christian Children's Fund and was an executive secretary in the men's division of Miller & Rhoades (where she retired from). She was a member of the Eastern Star and was Matron of Blanche Spencer Chapter of the Eastern Star. In later life and until she died, she lived at the Eastern Star Home in Richmond. She was an avid gardner and everyone remembers how she used to overload us with all types of squash. She attended Tabernacle Baptist Church in Richmond for 30+ years. Bought her house at 312 N. Meadow St and lived there for 20+ years. Prior to that she owned a house in the 1800b of Hanover Ave. She loved to cook and was always bringing her dishes to family events. She would adopt a family every Christmas and make sure they had a Christmas meal and that everyone in the family had presents, especially the children. She instilled in her son that sense of giving to those less fortunate. She was a truly dedicated Christian Woman.

  Father	HORNE Herbert Raines,   b. 26 Dec 1880, Newville, Prince George, VA d. 3 Sep 1956, Richmond, VA (MCV Hosp) (Age 75 years)
  Mother	GOODRICH Mary (Pinky) Elizabeth,   b. 18 Aug 1884, Dendron, Surry, Virginia, United States d. 10 Jun 1976, Richmond, Virginia, USA (Age 91 years)
  Marriage	28 Jan 1907	Halifax, Halifax, North Carolina, USA   [8]
  	The way that he and grandmother left to get married is a classic, just like a romantic novel. On a cold, blustery, snowy 28th day of January, 1907, Grandfather, at the stroke of midnight, placed a ladder against the side of the farmhouse and grandmother climbed down to go marry Herbert. They took the horse and carriage that he had waiting through three (3) feet of snow to the train station in Waverly, Virginia. There they took a train to Halifax, NC and stayed at the Roanoke Hotel, where they were married by J. L. Fenner, Justice of the Peace on January 28th, 1907. Mrs. W. A. Sater was both the proprietress and witness. Mary Virginia Horne Howard remembers that the next morning, one of the kids went downstairs and told their mother, Ella Gertrude Booth Goodrich that Pinkie (Mary Goodrich) wasn't in her room. As the family started to search for her, her father Benjamin Taylor Goodrich, said,' there ain't no need to look for her, she's run away to get married, haven't you seen her making all these new clothes?'. Mary Virginia doesn't remember which of the kids told their mother about Pinkie (Mary) being gone. However it was the one that slept in the room with Mary Goodrich and my guess would be Stella, as they were the closest of the kids and remained so throughout life.
