Mary-Heather Campbell Godette, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away
peacefully on April 8, 2024, at AdventHealth Sebring Hospital in Sebring, Florida, at the age of
88.
Born in New York City, NY on October 11, 1935, Heather was the daughter of the late Dorothy

Heather graduated from Bassick High School in Bridgeport, Connecticut with the Class of 1954.
She furthered her education at Jackson College for Women (Tufts University), earning her
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1959.
In 1962, Heather married the love of her life, William Atwood Godette, whom she met while
working at Siskorski Aircraft in Stratford, CT. Over their 61 years of marriage, Heather and Bill
shared a life filled with adventure and love, residing in various states including Connecticut,
Maryland, Florida, Indiana, and Colorado. In 2013, they retired to Avon Park, FL, where Heather
found joy in the warmth of the sun, the tranquility of water, tending to her gardens, and indulging
in the pages of good books.
Heather is survived by her devoted husband, Bill; their three children, Laura White, Cynthia
Covill, and Brian Godette; and three cherished grandchildren, Jonathan Covill, Heather White,
and Kevin White, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Heather will be remembered for her unwavering love for her family, her gentle spirit, and her
passion for life's simple pleasures. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, strength, and grace
that will forever be cherished by those who had the privilege of knowing her.
In line with her selfless nature and preference for simplicity, there will be no funeral services. To
