Born December 7, 1933 in Dallas, Texas to Elder Booker T. Hollins Sr., and Missionary Viola Hollins. She was one of 17 siblings. Goldie was very active in church all of her young life, over Sunday School, Purity, in the choir, under the leadership of her father. It was during one of the church services where she met and married the father of her kids James W. Frazier in 1953. After she found herself in 1960 a single mother, she moved from Oakland to Stockton, Ca to be with her sisters. She had only a high school education and needed a higher education to provide for her girls so she went to Delta Nursing for LVN. At that time, she was the first of her siblings to graduate with a college degree. She would go to school during the day and study at night then work the graveyard shift to provide for her family. She married Rev. George Graham on March 1999, and was married to him until her death. Goldie always wanted the best for her girls, so with the help of Dr. Arismendi from Dameron Hospital, she enrolled them in private school and received a large scholarship from each school. Because of her sacrifice of sending her girls on two buses each morning to school, she produced two Register Nurses, and a Dental Program Director. And all of her grandkids have attended college. She was very proud of that fact.
Goldie loved family, soaps on TV, and talking about politics. She was one of the best dressed and most classy mom in Stockton. She always had to have matching hat, gloves, and shoes. She was also a great baby nurse at Dameron Hospital. All of the moms loved her! She was a LVN, but she would take critical babies to UCSF via ambulance, a job normally given to RN’s only. She was that good.
