Carol June Goddard

Carol June Goddard, 83, of Republic passed away on Thursday, Oct. 30, 2025.  She was born Sept. 3, 1942, in West Plains, to James A. and Ada (Young) Mayfield. On July 3, 1974, Carol and Walter Goddard Jr. were united in marriage and shared over 41 years together, before Walter’s passing in 2015.
She was active in her church and had a deep love for studying God’s Word. She was always eager to learn more and spent time reading her Bible. Her faith was strong, and she was ready to be with Jesus. She enjoyed life’s simple pleasures — a good cup of coffee, watching hummingbirds, spicy foods, and chocolate. She loved being outdoors and could often be found taking her daily walks, usually two to three miles each day. She also had a passion for traveling and was proud to have visited all 50 states. Above all, she had a caring heart and was especially devoted to caring for her family.
She is survived by sons, Kevin Travis Goddard, Gregory Paul Goddard and wife Tarynn; 12 grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; siblings, Ellis, Bill, Lowell, Ann, Jeannie, Fern; cousins, Linda and Glenda; in-laws, Minnie and Dave; nieces, nephews, other family, and many friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, James and Ada Mayfield; husband Walter Goddard; siblings, Doris, Dorothy, Lee, Ruby, Wanda, and Lela.
Graveside services will be 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at Greene Lawn Cemetery, Walnut Grove, with a time of visitation to follow.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be left to Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks and may be left with the funeral home.
Arrangements under the direction of Wilson-Griffin Funeral Home.
