Nancy Marie Godbold Fox
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Nancy Marie Godbold Fox, who departed this world on April 10, 2025. Born in Savannah, Ga., Nancy was a devoted wife to Tom for 55 years and a proud mother and grandmother.
Nancy found joy in spending time with her family and friends and as a dedicated member of her parish, St. Therese of Cleveland, Tn. She loved cheering on and playing with her grandchildren – always their biggest fan. Nancy retired from Notre Dame High School after a remarkable 30-year career as a beloved teacher and coach. A proud alumnus herself, she was deeply committed to the school’s mission. While she led several teams to state championships, her greatest passion was always her students and the lifelong friendships she built within the school community.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Gustave and Mary Godbold, her brother, Gustave Godbold, Jr., sister-in-law, Connie Godbold.
Nancy's memory will be cherished by her surviving husband, Tom; her children, Tommy (Tara) and Tony (Lauren); her grandchildren, Anna Grace, Caroline, Ella, Jack, Millie, Ben, Shelby, Eleanor, and Leeam; brother, Christopher A. Godbold, her niece, Kathleen Godbold Dyke, a nephew, Gustave Godbold III; and countless friends who were touched by her genuine and loving nature.
A Celebration of Nancy’s Life will be held in the East Chapel of Chattanooga Funeral Home on Sunday, April 13, at 3 p.m. with Father Mike Nolan officiating. The family will receive friends prior to the service beginning at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in Nancy’s memory can be made to Notre Dame High School and/or St. Therese of Lisieux.
