In 1953, Good, her husband, Sir George Thomas, and Leonard Ransford attended a Golden Jubilee lunch held by the Badminton Union of Ireland, as the only four surviving players from the 1903 international matches. They had four children, three of whom also played badminton at national and international level, Derreen, Barbara, and Norman.
