She loved seeing others enjoying themselves with food, laughter and fellowship. Whenever there was any occasion she had to make her famous macaroni and cheese, her delicious rice pudding and her scrumptious pineapple upside down cake. She loved being with family and friends. She loved having cook-outs during the summer months and Christmas was brought alive by Mommas decorative lights that would brighten all of 2500 Seamon Avenue as well as her home in Randallstown. She enjoyed the holidays because she knew it was a time of family gatherings, laughter, food, and music. She also, along with her husband, enjoyed the spirit of celebration. One of "Mommas" favorite past-times was watching her old movies, and she "Loved" John Wayne. Momma loved her children, grandchildren and great -grandchildren, and whenever you would see Momma you would see her Norman - her special gift. Goldie had the brightest and welcoming smile and a spirit of love and care. She loved dancing and of course, shopping. She enjoyed her life and her family gatherings. Momma was a loving, devoted giving mother, grandmother and great -grandmother. All were welcomed in her home. Her life was enriched by the love and admiration from many.
