Goldie was raised while traveling with her parents all over the country. She completed eight years of schooling. In 1995, she proudly earned her G.E.D. from Lebanon High School.
On December 4, 1959, Goldie married her true love, Roland W. Scott. They were thrilled to be blessed with five wonderful children, Roland, Billy Ray, Rodney, Juanita and Laura.
She was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost in 1967 and was an active member of Harvest Tabernacle Church for the time she lived in Lebanon.

Goldie was known as a humble, God-fearing woman. She didn’t take credit for many of her accomplishments. She was a daycare worker for many years and had a hand in raising several of Lebanon’s youngsters.
In her spare time, Goldie enjoyed sewing and crocheting, word puzzles, and fixing peanut brittle. She was famous for her peanut brittle and friends, relatives and church members looked forward to each time Goldie would cook up the sweet treat.
Most of all, Goldie looked forward spending time with her family. She was so very proud of her children and comforted to know she had raised five good kids. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren deeply and looked forward to reading to them, spending time with them, and telling them about Jesus.
Her love and devotion to her Father in Heaven and to her children and grandchildren will be remembered and admired for years to come.
A memorial has been established for Feeding America or St. Jude's and donations may be left at the funeral home.
