And surviving and forever cherishing her memory are her sons, Tobey (wife Tammy) and Todd Godwin, Sister Mary C. Craig-Haynes, brother-in-law to Terry Godwin (wife Melany) and sister-in-law Marian Godwin. Dear friend to Derrick Stewart and Loving Cat Mom to Sambo. Many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
