Evelyn Linda Goddard stepped into eternity to her forever home to see her loving Savior on Friday, December 5, 2025. She was born on April 20, 1947, in Albuquerque, New Mexico to Onesimo and Connie Bachicha. The oldest of four siblings Betty, Marlene, and Floyd Bachicha, she grew up in the high desert sun of Albuquerque, New Mexico, then moved to Phoenix, Arizona with her husband Jim Goddard, who worked in sales. Later, they moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma to attend Bible college where she spent most of her adult life, raising her family and building memories that still warm the hearts of everyone who knew her.

She poured herself into ministry with quiet strength and fierce passion, deliverance, prophetic, and apostolic work across churches in the Tulsa area. A strong personality who never backed down from truth, she’d pray with boldness, laugh loud when joy hit, and speak straight, like she was born to wake people up.

She raised her three sons Lance, Garett, and Austin with the same fire she brought to everything else. She leaves behind son Lance and his wife Tina, along with their four grandchildren Kylie (married to Michael Jones), Cassidy (married to Caden McCluskey), Derek Goddard, and Jaclyn Goddard, son Garett and grandson son Kallan, and son Austin Goddard.

She was preceded in death by her mother Connie Bachicha, her father Onesimo Bachicha, her sister Betty Dabovich, nephew Steven Bachicha and loving husband Jim Goddard.

Above all else she was Mimi, the best grandmother a family could ever ask for.
