Lillian Golding Obituary

Joanie Golding passed away March 11, 2013, in San Diego.
Lillian "Joanie" Templeton graduated from Crawford High in 1965 and became one of the county's finest survey draftspersons, and a loving mother, wife, partner and grandmother. The many who loved Joanie will remember her humor at all times and her eye for design.
Joanie is survived by daughters Shannon and Jessie; son John; ex-husbands Mike Curren and Pete Golding; longtime companion Phil Hatlem; and grandson Isaac.
A memorial service will be held later this year.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation.

We are so saddened by Joanie's passing. She was muchtoo young and had so much of life yet to live. We grieve for her children who will miss her so much - she loved them so. We trust that there are many memories of happier times that will provide solace now and bring joy in the future.
