At the sweet age of 16, she met and later married the love of her life, Dallas Godbey. They had many happy years together. They shared a love of horses, motorcycles, and classic cars.

She loved the Lord and went to Trinity Church for many years.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Julie and Mike (Pete) Davis; granddaughter, Rachel Davis; and grandson, Dallas Davis.
She will be terribly missed.
