Ruby O. Godfrey

Miss Ruby O. Godfrey, 91, of Wesley Mtn. Drive, Blairsville, Ga., died Thursday, March 20, 2008 in the Union General Hospital following an extended illness.

Mrs. Godfrey was born Sept. 20, 1916 in Fannin County, Ga., the daughter of the late James B. Godfrey and the late Carrie Rose Godfrey. Mrs. Godfrey was a nurse most of her life in several different hospitals around the country. One of her supervisors wrote this about Ruby, "Miss Godfrey's greatest fault, if we can call it so, lies upon perfection from herself, her co-workers and the situation in which she finds herself, whatever it may be. Her standards, both in her personal life and in any job she does, are very high, therefore making it quite difficult at times for her to accept "second best" in a situation which demands it. She takes the welfare of her patients very much to heart and spends many extra hours off duty in concerning herself with that very thing." This critique sums up Ruby's life, helping those

in need. She was preceded

in death by her parents and seven sisters. She

was of the Protestant faith.

Surviving Miss Godfrey is one sister,

essie Younes of Athens,

Ga.; and also many friends at Branan Lodge.

A memorial service will be held at a later date at Branan Lodge and will be announced. In lieu of flowers if you wish, the family requests that memorials may be made to the Union-Towns Humane Society in memory of Miss Godfrey.
