Betty Wynn Godshall Nuber

Betty Wynn Godshall Nuber, 94, of Naples, Florida died in her sleep on July 25, 2022 following a long decline of her health, while in the care of Avow Hospice and Vi at Bentley, her home for the past twenty years. Betty was born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on August 23, 1927 to Elizabeth and Thomas Godshall, the first of their three children. Although raised during the Great Depression she always had stories of a happy childhood spent teasing her brother, Don, and adoring her “baby brother,” Lee. Donald preceded Betty in death. Betty loved music, took immediately to the piano, and before long was an accordion player in her marching high school band. She wasn’t out of her teens when she met a handsome young man, Kenneth Joseph Nuber, at the Disciples of Christ Church youth group. They were married in 1947 in a union that lasted 65 years until Ken’s death in 2012. Betty devoted her life to homemaking and child rearing throughout the first 30 years of their marriage when living in New Jersey and Pittsburgh. She took up oil painting during those years and produced pieces still cherished today. She enjoyed crossword puzzles, card games, and board games with friends but music was her cherished joy. She played her organ masterfully, often for family enjoyment as well as that of friends and neighbors at Bentley. Ken took an early retirement from Exxon International which opened up a whole new life of travel by car, boat, plane and motorcycle for both of them. More than once they were awarded the Retreads Motorcycle Club's coveted prize for greatest distance traveled to the gathering, having crossed the country east to west and south to north. Betty is survived by her two children, Karen-Lee Nuber Brofee, of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and Thomas Arthur Nuber, of Cypress, Texas, and daughter-in-law, Deborah Crawford Nuber; as well as four grandchildren: Beth Ellen Brofee Stark of Wilmington, DE, Neal Thomas Brofee of Duncannon, PA, Courtney Nuber Webb of Austin, TX, and Christopher Nuber of Winter Park, FL, and seven great-grandchildren: Brennan Stark, Lucy Stark, Jamie Stark, Eli Webb, Jillian Webb, Elena Nuber, and Petra Nuber. Betty will be inurned in the Resurrection Garden of The First Presbyterian Church of Bonita Springs on August 15, 2022 at 11:00 AM.
