Dorothy Louda (Good) Guinane 7/10/47 to 12/21/15 Early Monday morning Dorothy passed away peacefully in her home, following a long illness. Dorothy was born at Kaiser Vallejo on July 10 1947. She was the youngest of 6 siblings. Dorothy’s first love from a young girl was horses. Her days were spent enjoying the cowgirl life. Horses were a huge part of her happiness. She was blessed with 3 children Charlotte, Michael and Richard. Dorothy was a very strong woman, she instilled that into her kids and every person’s life she graced. Dorothy was married to the love of her life Captain Robert Guinane, they spent 39+ years together until he passed in 2007. In her later years she raised her granddaughter Natasha her days were filled with her. Dorothy was a very giving woman that was extremely selfless. She opened her home to people in need, feeding, sheltering and clothing them. It meant so much to her to have the opportunity to help others. Especially during the holidays her door was always open, and no one went without a plate of food and a gift to open. What everyone loved most about her was her tell it like it is attitude and super sharp wit. Never once did she bite her tongue she meant what she said and it was backed with a whole lot of love. Dorothy was a one of a kind firecracker who showed the true definition of un-conditional love. She is going to be missed dearly. Dorothy is survived by Charlotte Dougherty (daughter), Natasha Nettles (granddaughter), Trielle Love (great granddaughter), Richard Guinane (son), Michael Guinane (son), Emma Guinane (granddaughter), Grace Rhone (sister), Bill Good (brother). Last but not least the one person who was able to give her the peace, love and joy she needed in her last year of life was Jamie Travis (daughter & bestfriend).
