Jackie Marion “Jack” Godfrey, 75 of Washington, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 16, 2018 with his family at his side.
Jack was born January 25, 1943 to the late Alfred Norman Godfrey Sr. and Viola J. Fuller ( Evans). Jack attended Lincoln High School in Vincennes and was employed as a cemetery grounds keeper for several local Daviess and Knox County cemeteries. Jack was committed to his loving wife of 56 years, Beverly Kay Godfrey.

When time allowed, Jack liked to be active outside; He would hunt, fish, mushroom hunt, and do almost anything to be in the outdoors.
