Chubbuck, ID - Delece (Dee) Elmer Godfrey, 79, passed away Monday, Jan. 18th, 2010 at the Eastern Idaho Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho. He was born April 11th 1930 in Clarkston, Utah to John Harold and Inez Olive (Goodey) Godfrey. He married Darlene Ruby Koller on May 4th, 1949 in Ely, Nevada. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Los Angeles, California Temple. They became the proud parents of eight children.
His greatest joys in life were home, family, and friends. He will always be remembered for his caring and loving support to family and friends. He is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints where various positions were held. He had especially fond memories of the scouting program and his time spent in that capacity. He loved sports, fishing, and collecting coins. After marriage, Dee did farm work in Weston for several years before moving to San Fernando, CA where he worked as a tool and die maker at Rocketdyne in Canoga Park, CA. After medically retiring from there, he moved his family back to Weston, ID where many friends and fond memories will be cherished forever. He really enjoyed serving as a Weston City Councilman for 16 years. After Darlene's passing, Dee very much enjoyed his remaining time spent living with daughters Geraldine and Merry Ann.
