Golda Hula

Golda Jean Hula, born on August 21, 1945, in Los Angeles, California passed away on July 25, 2025, at Unity Hospital in Searcy, Arkansas. She was a cherished community member, deeply loved by her family and friends alike, and her legacy will endure through the many lives she touched.

Golda graduated from Excelsior High School in 1961 and lived a life rich in faith and service. A devoted member of the Cross of Christ Church, Golda exemplified kindness and generosity, often described as someone who would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it.

Golda was preceded in death by her father, Rev H.J. Dobbs; her mother, Betty Dobbs; her brother, Danny Dobbs; and her grandson, Wendell Craig Jr.
