A lifelong resident of Mocksville, she was born on November 1, 1966, to the late Arnold Godbey and Martha Trivette Godbey. Sissy was known for her outspoken personality, quick wit, and love of laughter. She enjoyed music, had a remarkable green thumb, and held a special place in her heart for animals. Sissy also enjoyed crocheting and settling in for a good episode of Law & Order. Above all, she cherished her family, especially her grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her dearly loved dogs, Buster and Charlie Brown.

She is survived by her two daughters, Tosha Palmer and Kayla (Shannon) Johnson; her beloved stepdaughter, Tina (Jackson) Ashburn; her grandchildren, Veronica, Bella, Sammy Jr., Kaylee, Mason, Kayah, Collin, AJ, Landon, Aila, Aiddan, Breanna, Stacy Jr., and Tanisha; her great-grandson, Emeris; and many bonus grandchildren who held a special place in her heart.

A funeral service will be conducted at 2 p.m., Friday, October 16, at Lambert Funeral Chapel. The family invites friends to visit with them at the funeral home, one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow in Union Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery.
