Artie is survived by her daughters, Glenda Moore, Joanne Frisk, 4 grand children, 11 great grandchildren & three great great grandchildren.
Artie was born in Bessie, Oklahoma. Her family moved to California when she was age 12.
She attended Madera High School & graduated in 1947. She married JR Godfrey October 1947. Together with their 2 daughters moved to Paradise, CA in 1955.
She worked part time as a nursing assistant at Feather River Hospital but her greatest joy was being at home with her family.
In retirement she loved to travel with JR & she loved volunteering at Hospice where she served for 25 years.
After the passing of JR, after losing her home in the Paradise Fire, after realizing the loss of all her worldly possessions, she moved to Gold Country Retirement Center in Placerville. She amazingly started her life over!
She lived her last days with joy & greatfulness, serving her Lord & Savior. She truly was a “Virtuous Woman.”
