Clemma Jean Godby, 85, of Elizabethtown, KY passed from this life on Friday, May 23, 2026 at Baptist Health Hardin Hospital. She was born on September 18, 1940, the daughter of the late Vernon and Ovaline Stephens Eastham.
Clemma Jean was a graduate of Russell County High School and in her younger days worked as a clerk at the Russell County Courthouse. Throughout the years, she enjoyed many trips to the lake for a day of fishing with her husband, Dual, and sister-in-law Fern. Clemma Jean enjoyed spending time outdoors, taking care of her yard and tending to her flowers. Her greatest joy was spending time with her grandson, Trenton and following his sporting events while watching him grow up. Clemma Jean and her neighbors loved going to the local VFW post for music and dancing. In 2017, she purchased the dream car that she always wanted, and she took pride in being able to drive her friends whenever they went out for a night of fun. Clemma Jean attended Berean Baptist Church in Elizabethtown.
