She was preceded in death by her mother, Carole Brogdon Golden; her father, Curtis Lee Golden; her sister, Donna Rae Golden; and her beloved daughter, Nicole (Nikki) Rae Smith.

She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law, Gary and Lisa Golden; her niece, Sydney Golden; her nephew, Samuel Golden; along with extended family and friends who will forever hold her memory close.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 on Friday, February 13, 2026, at Brushy Creek Cemetery in Ocilla.
