January 19, 1954 - September 01, 2021
On Wednesday September 1, 2021, Lynette Blanche Godina, loving mother to 3 children and Nana to 8 grandchildren, passed away at the age of 67.
Lynette was born on January 19, 1954 in Santa Barbara, CA to Louis and Lillian Purio. Lynette and her family moved from Santa Barbara, CA to Stockton, CA in 1954. She is a graduate of Stagg High School. In 1978 one of her greatest joys was becoming a mother for the first time to Armando and again in 1980 to Mary and 1986, Sarah. She went on to teach at Stockton Christian School for 18 years while she raised her children. During that time she enjoyed teaching and left a lasting impression on her students. After teaching, she then spent the next few years caring for her mother until her passing. After her mother passed, she only took a small amount of time for herself when she started working part timefor her dear friend brother James Williams at CJ’s Jamaican Kitchen. She loved brother and sister Williams and often talked about how she loved working there. She was also a faithful member of Lighthouse of the Valley and loved her church family dearly. Lynette enjoyed tending to her beautiful garden, collecting tea pots, and spending time with her grandchildren.
Lynette was preceded in death by her father Louis and her mother Lillian. She is survived by her brothers Louis and Lee Purio, her three children Armando, Mary and Sarah and her eight grandchildren Jordan, Dominic, Desirae, Dimitri, Mia, Jacob, Jaidyn and Preston.
