Godchaux's representative, Dennis McNally, confirmed her death in a statement shared with Rolling Stone, noting that she died at a hospice facility in Nashville on Sunday, Nov. 2, following a "lengthy struggle with cancer."
Godchaux, who joined the Grateful Dead in 1971 along with her husband, keyboard player Keith, can be heard on albums including Europe ’72, Wake of the Flood, and Terrapin Station, in addition to such iconic live recordings as the Dead’s September 1978 shows at the Giza pyramid in Egypt.

Born in Florence, Alabama, Godchaux worked with artists such as Cher, Dionne Warwick, and Elvis Presley during the '60s, singing on such classic tunes as "Suspicious Minds" and "In the Ghetto."
“I told Jerry that Keith needed to be in the band and I needed his home phone number, and I got his number!” she later said. The couple joined the group not long after that.
“I have many regrets, of course, like you do about decisions you make in life,” she told Rolling Stone in 2014. “You can’t make up for what isn’t there anymore, but you can continue on a journey that takes you somewhere...If you keep looking back, you got nothing. If you look ahead to what is there before you, then life is good.”
