Winnie was a founding member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church in 1981, and until then was a member of St. Patrick’s. She was also a member of the Immaculate Conception Sodality and the First Friday Society. Winnie did volunteer work with Hope Mills Parks and Recreation, was a Cape Fear Valley Auxiliary and Board Member, and volunteered for the Arts Council, the Crown Complex, and at the Cape Fear Foundation Volunteer Office. Winnie also worked with the Boy and Girl Scouts for several decades, and at H & R Block and the Stanton Hospitality House; she was an avid Duke basketball fan, but nothing came close to her love for the Boston Red Sox. Our mother will truly be missed.
The Memorial Service for Winnie Golden will be Monday, May 13, 2019 at 12 PM at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Hope Mills, NC. The burial will be Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 10 AM at Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery in Spring Lake, NC.
