Eleanor G. Golden passed away May 4, 2017 at the age of 97. She was born in Big Rapids, Michigan, on April 20, 1920 to Murray J. Bailey and Lena (Valencourt) Bailey.

Eleanor was a proud veteran of World War II. She served honorably for two and one half years in the Women's Army Air Corp, 3rd Photo Mapping Squad, Mac Dill Field in Florida. During that time she met husband, Walker Golden. They were married in McKinney, Texas in March of 1946, a union which lasted for sixty-one years.
