His wife, Louise, said he died at a care home in Newbury Park, California, on 7 July.
Conley, who starred in The Waltons for more than 10 years, had been suffering from dementia.
He landed the role of the Jefferson County general store owner when the series started in 1972.
The actor spent most of his on-screen time opposite Ronnie Claire Edwards, who portrayed his bossy wife Corabeth Walton Godsey.
Born in Buffalo, New York, in 1928, Conley moved to California to pursue an acting career after serving in the army during the Korean War.
He had bit parts in the 1960s series Green Acres and The Beverly Hillbillies before he joined The Waltons.
He published his autobiography, Ike Godsey of Walton's Mountain, in 2009.
