Golda was born to Ruby Pierce Obert August 25, 1934 in Paris, Texas. Golda enjoyed keeping her hands busy by working outside, burning brush, visiting with family and friends and writing and receiving cards. She also took great pride in the accomplishments of her grandchildren. Golda labored beside Herbert in building Praise Tabernacle Church in Honey Grove and served the Lord for many years. She was always very strong and positive about her life. We will remember her smile and saying “Right You Are!”
