She was born March 26, 1924, in Hempstead County, Arkansas, to Benjamin Franklin and Fairy Malcolm Stroud. She was the last remaining of that generation. She was a member of First Assembly of God, Hope, Arkansas. She was preceded in death by her husband, Leroy C. Golden in 1971. She is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Carlene Clemons and Wesley; and Paula Kuhn and Karmel, both of Hope, Arkansas. Her daughters served as her primary caregivers in the last few months of her life. One son Gary L.
