She was preceded in death by her husband, Tom Godwin. She is survived by her sons: Randy Godwin and wife, Kay; and Chris Godwin and wife, Shelly; grandchildren, Jeromy Godwin (Sheila), Kacey Thompson (Neal), Adam Godwin (Sasha), Amanda Grondalski (Graham), Christopher Godwin (Sarah); and 12 great grandchildren.
