Betty Alice Goldsberry (Worley) passed away peacefully on May 12, 2024, in Lompoc, California, at the age of 86. Betty was born on March 12, 1938, and was raised on a farm in Missouri with her 8 siblings. She was the beloved matriarch of her family, raising 7 children and caring for many of her grandchildren.

She is survived by her children Sandi Best, Bonnie Patton, Teresa Westerlind, Christine Ragsdale, Carol Albrecht, Ronald Goldsberry, and Donald Goldsberry. Betty was adored by her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Charles Goldsberry and her beloved grandchildren Raymond Albrecht, Isaac Best, Toni Vietzke, and Johnny Halsey.
A funeral service to honor and remember Betty and her dear late husband Charles will be held at Starbuck-Lind Mortuary on June 10, 2024, at 10 am.

I have always felt like a good percentage of my High School days were spent in the Goldsberry home which was always a very busy house, full of laughter and definite love. You never went hungry, never bored and always someone to talk with. I was always envious that they had so many siblings in constant movement, I loved the craziness because for me I just had one brother left at home. I really loved the Goldsberry home and I could tell there was love in the air. I know Betty and Chuck will always be missed.

Sending all Goldsberry kids my heartfelt condolences. I enjoyed living right next door to the family when we were younger. Swimming at their house and going to Disneyland in the camper was always awesome.. not to mention the times Betty drove us all to school in that red car on fumes.. remembering past times together. Your mom was always nice.. never mad that I can recall. Losing your mom.. so many memories with your family.. My deepest condolences to all of you. Hugs and kisses.. & LOVE.. Mimi Decker

Sending all our love and heartfelt condolences. We always loved visiting Aunt Betty and Uncle Charlie especially when we were able to bring mom and dad for a visit. Mom and Aunt Betty would stay up most of the night catching up on family news and remembering past times together. We especially enjoyed being able to visit and have dinner Aunt Betty and Bonnie when we were last in Spokane.. Knowing our parents are all together again without pain gives us comfort.. we are sending our love and hugs

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I know how much her sisters who are left behind will miss calling Betty and discussing past events and hearing that amazing laugh. You will be missed.
