In 1969 she met South African cricketer Mike Procter. They married three months later, after which Godwin changed her last name and retired from competitions. For many years, due to Procter's cricket contracts, their family was living half-year in England and half-year in Zimbabwe, but in the 1980s they settled in Durban North, South Africa.[1]
