Golda was one of a kind. She knew the meaning of hard work. Whether stuffing envelopes or mentoring a future candidate, Golda was always there with her smile. Oh, how she loved those conventions!

Dear Golda,
You will be so missed. Thank you for taking the time to mentor me in Ponderosa Republican Women and be my friend. Thank you for your help to bring forward to the party great ideas like the FairTax and many other projects and functions that we worked on together throughout the years here in Arizona. A light has been taken from us with your passing. You are so loved and will be missed.

Golda worked harder than anybody in our effort to register Republican voters in the 2003-04 cycle. LD-6 led the way. God bles you Golda and may he bring peace and comfort to all who love you.

Golda you were one of the hardest working Republican volunteers I have ever seen! You did so much for so many. You will be sorely missed! God's Speed Golda!

Golda you were always a precious friend. The time we worked together in the Possee was such fun. Then working in the fingerfprint unit for Sheriff Arpaio with that special group of people was a time I'll never forget. God was alway dear to you and to me, too. Your life was a shining example to others. Loved you, Anne-Marie Furrey

I reunited with Grandma Golda Christmas of 2001 after 21 years. I was fortunate enough to visit her a few more times over the years and will always cherish these memories. Grandma, you will be missed.
Love, Elisa

Grandma I will miss you, I will miss our conversations on the phone. I remember all the political parties you took me to when I was a kid, and the time I asked a guy to draw me a picture of some horses, you thought they were donkeys and told me to have him draw pictures of elephants cause that was the correct political party we belonged to. May you be in the arms of God, making him laugh. I love you.

Golda was Grandma Ronnie to me. I last visited her about 15 years ago in the same little house in Phoenix that her and Grandpa lived in ever since they moved away from San Diego. We are the step kids, grand kids, etc...
