Betty graduated from the University of Michigan in 1940 with a degree in Physical Education, taught for a year in Muskegon then married John G. "Jack" Young in July of 1941. During World War II, the couple lived in the Rochester, N.Y., area where she was involved in the Presbyterian church,  Girl Scouts, and an outdoor organization called the Tramp & Trail Club. She was a housewife later, providing a home for their  five children in Ann Arbor where she also gave generously of her time and talents to the First Presbyterian Church. She was a devoted choir member and very active in the Women’s Association, Christian Education Department and Mission Board, as well as The Ark coffee house sponsored by the church. Upon Jack’s retirement from the University of Michigan in 1980, they became year-round residents in their summer home in northern Michigan on Douglas Lake , where Betty had spent summers for all but one of her 91 years. She was  an enthusiastic member of the Douglas Lake Improvement Association and served in various capacities including “Loon Patrol”. She also became  active in the Church of the Straits in Mackinaw City and directed the choir and children’s choir, helped with fish fries and was a representative to Presbytery. Betty was also an active member of the Munro Township Helping Hands for many years. In addition, she and Jack  helped found the northern Michigan chapter of the 70+ Ski club during the mid 1980s. In 2002, they began spending winters in Charlevoix next door to their son John and his family.  During this time they were active in the First Congregational Church, UCC of Charlevoix. Betty and Jack shared a deep love of the outdoors and were both members of the Society of Les Voyageurs at the U of M. The family took many hiking and camping trips together. She also loved to garden and was a great fisherman. She will always be  remembered for her kind, generous heart; always giving support  and assistance to family, friends and the many causes she believed in. She was preceded in death by her parents, the Rev. J. Leslie & Edna C. French; a sister Margaret Clink, and brother James French.

John "Jack" Thomas Godfrey Atlanta, GA John "Jack" Thomas Godfrey, son of Hazel and Karl Godfrey and a Lansing native, died October 1 surrounded by family at age 85. He was born in Lansing on July 11, 1924, attended Eastern High School and graduated from Michigan State University. Before graduating from high school, he joined the then Army Air Corps and served as a B-17 co-pilot, stationed in Norfolk, England, during WWII, and completed 35 bombing missions over Germany. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Mr. Godfrey earned his bachelor's and master's degrees at Michigan State University and went on to teach math at a middle school in Detroit, then work for General Electric in Schenectady, NY, and Phoenix, AZ. He next founded On Line Systems Inc., a computer-programming business in Pittsburgh, PA, and a highly successful company way ahead of its time. He was also a mathematician who invented and helped create early children's games that taught the fundamentals of computer logic: Dr. Nim and Digicomp II. He loved his family, first and foremost, and math puzzles, computers, bicycling, boating, swimming, dogs, magic tricks, finding Petosky stones, jokes, camping, and northern Michigan. After retirement, he lived in East Jordan, MI, on Lake Charlevoix during summers, and spent winters in Punta Gorda, FL. He was married to Velda (Cavanaugh) Godfrey, also of Lansing, for 60 years. They had four children. In their later years, Jack and Velda moved to Atlanta, Georgia, to be near family. Jack died at Park Springs Communities retirement home in Stone Mountain, GA, where Velda still lives. John Godfrey was a generous, smart, funny and extremely loving man, quick to help anyone in need and a role model who was adored by everybody who knew him. He will be terribly missed by all who survive him -- his wife Velda; daughter Barbara Keenlyside; sons Jim, Dale and Thomas Godfrey; his sister Mary Case; brother-in-law Roland Case; nephew Doug Case; nieces Rae Ann Beck, Sue Pride and Lynn Brownridge; and his nine grandchildren: Conan, Evan, David, Nora, Connor and Matthew Godfrey; Caitlin and Andrew Beck; and Miles Keenlyside, among many other people.

Raymond E. Meckley, 82, of Fort Myers, Fla., passed peacefully with his wife, Louise at his side on Monday Sept. 14, 2009. He was born Feb. 24, 1927, and was the first-born child of Clifford E. and Ann Meckley of Colfax, Iowa. Ray proudly served his country during World War II as a gunner on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific. Raymond married Andrew and Florence Leutheuser’s youngest child, Louise in their hometown of Somerset, Mich. on Oct. 12, 1956. His love of farming combined with a business degree from Simpson College made it a natural fit for him to start Flavor Fruit Farm in Somerset Center. Over the years Raymond developed a flourishing apple business for the local community. From the Fall Apple Smorgasbords to his pictorial fruit displays at the Michigan State Fair, Ray earned winning ribbons and many compliments. After the December 1976 fire at Flavor Fruit Farm, Raymond rebuilt the business with the help of his wife Louise and their children. Coming to the orchard on the weekend meant hayrides, apples, roasted almonds, doughnuts and cider, along with apple butter, and hotdogs at the fire pit. You could always remember the thrill of being able to pick your own apple or cherries from a tree in the orchard. Raymond loved seeing all the people that came by to say Hi and share a moment with him. No matter what was discussed Raymond could joke and find a way to make his point like an arrow hitting the bulls-eye. As the seasons changed Raymond found new interests in life upon retiring from the daily business of running the orchard. He enjoyed fishing and watching boats pass by on the river outside his home in Fort Myers, Florida. He is survived by his loving wife Louise, children, Edward Meckley of Somerset; Phillip (Robin) Meckley of Fullerton, Calif.; Beth (Kevin) Wiesman of Somerset Center; John Meckley of Santa Barbara, Calif.; Steven (Kim) Meckley of Lake LeAnn; and Sarah (Brent) Brewster of N. Ft. Myers, Fla. Also surviving are his brothers and sisters, Margaret Owens of Fairbank, Iowa; Robert Meckley of Egan, Minn.; Joan Stiffler of Montezuma, Iowa; Gene Meckley of Colfax, Iowa and Susan Grove of Okeechobee, Fla. Raymond is also survived by his 17 grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service in celebration of Raymond’s life and marriage of 53 years will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 12 at the Flavor Fruit Farm, Somerset Center, with a luncheon to follow. In lieu of flowers the family has asked that donations be made to Hope Hospice, 9470 HealthPark Circle, Fort Myers FL 33908. |
