British officer personnel's private quarters. In 1949, when the ATS was merged into the Women's Royal Army Corps she signed up for further service. In 1952, she married Jamaican fast bowler Stanley Goodridge, and they subsequently had a daughter, Amru Elizabeth. Soon thereafter, Stanley won a contract to play cricket in Durham and he moved to England. After completing a decade of service with the RAMC, McDonald-Goodridge joined her husband with their daughter in England, where she gave birth to their second child, Stanley, in 1957. Once the family was settled in Britain, McDonald-Goodridge returned to her work as a medical secretary. She also became involved in charitable works, community service and educational projects. The Goodridges divorced and she married Michael Mark. She joined the West Indian ex-Servicemen's Association and pressed for them to add women to the title of the organisation, continuing her fight for the recognition of women's contributions to the war effort. In 1980, Mark founded an organisation called the Friends of Mary Seacole, which was later renamed the Mary Seacole Memorial Association. Marking the centenary of Seacole's death, a memorial service was held on 14 May 1981 and since that time, the Memorial Association has maintained the grave site. In 1989, when preparations were being made to celebrate the contribution of servicemen and women on the fiftieth anniversary of the war's outbreak, Mark began lobbying for the inclusion of West Indians and women. In an interview conducted by Jacqui Harper for the BBC programme Hear-Say, Mark expressed her frustration that the service of Black Britons was not known. She applied for a grant from the Greater London Arts Council and put together an exhibition of photographs that she was able to collect from service personnel and the archives of the Imperial War Museum for the anniversary celebration. In 1992, Mark finally received her British Empire Medal for her meritorious service during the war. In 1993, Mark was notified that the British Government had created a bursary fund honouring Seacole to grant £25,000 annually for nursing leadership studies. Mark continued her activism, participating annually in the Remembrance Day parade until her health no longer allowed her to do so. She was also well-known and respected for her poetry and participation in storytelling events to champion Caribbean culture. In 2001, she was honoured as a member of the Order of the British Empire.
