"With God's help I have climbed over many mountains in my life, and come out the other side better than I was before. This one I cannot climb, l'm Tired and I want to go Home."- That's what I told my family when I made the decision to Let God's Will be done and no longer dialyze... I didn't feel cheated or short-lived; in fact some have said I lived life with passion and Tenacity the whole 64 years. I was born in Battle Creek, Ml to lrene L. Davis (Scott) and Joseph W. Davis. They were waiting for me with two of my three brothers in Heaven, Barry Goff (Linda) and Joseph my baby brother. I grew up in Manistique Michigan mostly, went to Nursing School in Northeast Ohio. I worked as a LPN and RN at St. Thomas Hospital, Director of Nursing at a Stow Glenn Nursing Home, and before retiring; I became a C.A.R.N and dedicated my 40 year nursing career to fighting on the front lines of the War on Drugs. My whole Family was there at NGMC in Gainesville, Ga, on June 10 at 2:30 pm, they all got to see me off, and say everything they needed to say, it was perfect, My Loving Husband Stewart "Stu" Cole (Wintersville/Toccoa), My Daughter Christina(Toccoa),My Son Zachariah(Bobbie)(Akron/Toccoa) and of course, my nine wonderful grandchildren,Calvin(22),Jacob(21), Eliza beth(21), Arizona(21), Rebekah(18), Heather(17), KaliRain(L5), Kennedy(10), Rachel(1O). I also left the world 3 beautiful great Grandchildren and one of my favorite people, my brother Harold Goff (Brenda) (Marshall, Ml) I will miss them, and they will miss me, but thanks to the Saving Grace of Jesus, We will meet again, and Dance together on Streets of Gold... I loved to Sing Gospel music, ride motorcycles, play Bingo and Spend time with my family. I also loved my church family at New Life Community Fellowship in Toccoa, Ga. They will hold a Celebration of my Life ceremony on Saturday, June l7th at 2 p.m. at the church, and if you're reading this, then consider yourself invited! lnstead of bringing flowers l'd rather you donate that money to the American Diabetes Association in my Honor, This way I get the" last swing" on the disease that I have fought against for so long!
