Tinsley, Frances Venice Kelley, Melonize Kelley, Elizabeth Kelley, Marvin Kelley, Martha Kelley, Doyle Knox Kelley, Joyce Kelley, and Gwen Kelley. After returning from one of his many tours overseas, US Marine Gunnery Sgt Godbee had a new nickname for his wife, "skosh" from the Japanese word Sutoshi which means a tiny bit, small amount. Claiming to be 5' tall, there was nothing small about what Mrs. Godbee did for her children and husband. Living off base in Maysville NC, 18 years, Mrs. Godbee worked a full time job, raised 5 children while her husband was often overseas. Her children were blessed to have such a big and "un" sukoshi woman. Her favorite times were family get togethers where she was an awesome cook or shopping with her girls. She was the ultimate shopaholic and her wardrobe was nicknamed Margaret's Hamericks". Her favorite quote was "Dynamite comes in small packages and I have a short fuse". Burial will be at Oconee Memorial Park. Davenport Funeral Home, Inc. 311 South Carolina 11 West Union, SC 29696 Telephone:(864) 638-3611
