She was born on June 10, 1917 in Comanche. Golda was a wonderful mother. While raising her children, she was a scout leader and PTA president, as well as a school bus driver.

As a girl, Golda rode her horse from her parent’s farm to school in Comanche. She stabled her horse at her grandparent’s home (James Washington and Martha Jane McCollum). She and Thomas ventured to California as newlyweds to work in the vineyards.

She was unwavering in her love and support of her family, extended family and friends all of her days.
