Chocomom63 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I just saw this today, but apparently she died on the 14th - she was 83. I wasn't sure if anyone had mentioned it, but I wanted to. I LOVED The Waltons and I think in some way it encouraged me to have 8 kids. :-P I also loved Corabeth because she was so over the top and I read somewhere that Ronnie Edwards loved the character for the same reason. My favorite episode was the one in which Ike asked her to marry him and you know, I haven't seen that episode in a really long time! In all the reruns I've never caught it. One of my other favorites is when they first got their daughter, Amy. She was trying so hard to be supermom that she forgot that all the girl needed was a regular mom and to be treated like all the other kids. Will Geer's Grandpa gave a great speech at the end of that one and it makes me tear up every time I see it. Good times. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord. And thank you Ronnie Edwards for your great acting. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cave canem Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't think the Corabeth character was a Walton. I think she was the snooty woman married to the storekeeper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Syne Boardie Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't think the Corabeth character was a Walton. I think she was the snooty woman married to the storekeeper. She's a Walton. John Sr's cousin. She was also the snooty woman married to the storekeeper. :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocomom63 Posted June 18, 2016 Author Share Posted June 18, 2016 She's a Walton. John Sr's cousin. She was also the snooty woman married to the storekeeper. :) Just about to say the same thing. She married Ike Godsey though so that's the name she was most known as. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 She did an excellent job portraying the character of Corabeth Walton - Godsey whom Olivia Walton (sensible mother of seven children) once called "high-strung." Great show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4arrows Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 It's so hard to see all these wonderful actors and actresses from my favorite childhood shows dying off. :sad: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
