Melba (Richardson) Goedecke, age 96, went with the Lord on August 27, 2021. She was born May 30, 1925, in Cleveland, TX, to Charlie W. Richardson and Esther (Wells) Richardson. Melba enjoyed reading, studying, and discussing the Bible. She worked in the church nursery for many years. Melba was sweet, generous, kind, selfless, and full of laughter. She had a true sense of hospitality and was welcoming to everyone. Facebook was her lifeline; using it to keep up with family, friends, and current events. She enjoyed spending her free time watching videos of babies on Facebook. Family was so very important to Melba and most importantly, she was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and will be deeply missed. Melba is survived by her son: Ronald Carl Goedecke; grandchildren: Lauren Grace Goedecke Starkey and husband Chad Everett Starkey and Col. Kenneth Kyle Goedecke; great-grandchildren: Alexis Grace-Ann Starkey Sprague and husband Davis Sprague, Faith Dian Starkey Swanson and husband Cody Swanson, Chole Marie Starkey, and Samuel Guy Starkey, Madison Grace Goedecke, and Kathryn Elizabeth Goedecke. She was preceded in death by her husband: Roy Carl Goedecke; her parents; and her siblings: Henry Edward Richardson, Florine Estelle Richardson Robertson, Vernon Stacy Richardson, Charlene Linda Richardson Spear, and Elouise Richardson Collins. A Celebration of Life will be held at Klein Funeral Home in Tomball, TX at a later date.
