Wanda Lows Godfrey; May 20, 2012

Wanda Lows Godfrey, 90, of Madison passed away peacefully Sunday, May 20.

Wanda was born on a farm in Hogan Hill, Ind.

Growing up she was active in the Hogan Hill Baptist church. Wanda was a cosmetologist for 30 years. After she retired, both she and her husband Bert Godfrey were successful Realtors in California.

During many years of caring for her then invalid husband, she still managed to remain in real estate. Upon her husband’s passing, she moved to Alabama, and was able to volunteer at Crestwood Hospital, enjoy friendships with her two Red Hat groups, and travel to many different countries.

She is survived by her brother, Don Lows (Juanita) of Indiana, step-daughters, Ginny Finnie of California, Sally Godfrey of California, and Betsy Poppell of Madison. She has four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Services will be in Hogan Hill, Ind. Laughlin Service Funeral Home is assisting the family.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Salvation Army.
