Linda Lou Godbey

Linda Lou Godbey, 77, of Pendleton, Indiana, passed away peacefully at her son's home on August 23, 2026. Born on August 4, 1949, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to Frank and Ethel Wortham, Linda lived her life with a heart full of love and a knack for nurturing everyone around her.

Linda had an infectious laugh and wonderful sense of humor. She was a true family woman. She was a loving mom and grandmother, always putting her family first. She had a special talent for gardening, turning her backyard into a vibrant sanctuary filled with flowers, birds and butterflies. Linda loved to play slots, pull tabs and to travel. Her talents included quilting and sewing, and her love for cooking meant that no one ever left her home hungry; meals with Linda were events filled with laughter and good food.

Retired after a long and dedicated career, Linda worked in direct shipment at Walmart for 34 years. She contributed her talents at Excello in Pendleton. For 15 years, she also worked at Lutz Steakhouse in Westfield. She cherished taking care of her grandchildren, neighbors, and any kid who came her way.
