Mrs. Golden was an active member of Golden Grove Bible Methodist Church, where her late husband served as pastor for over 33 years. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmama. She had a servant’s heart, exemplified by the dozens of people she cared for throughout her life. Time with family, holding the babies, reading, and quilting gave her special joy. She lived her faith even when life was tough, and all who knew her loved her.
