Our beloved mother Pat Golson had an amazing welcome into heaven on August 25, 2021. There to greet her was the love of her life, her husband Elston Golson. Pat was born on May 20, 1925 in Santa Barbara, California.
After the death of her mother at age 7, Pat lived with her father and brothers. She did well in school and then met her future husband on a blind date. She had asked to meet a tall, dark, and handsome Marine, and boy did she find one! They were married, and while Elston served his country in the Marines, Pat served her country as a Rosie the Riveter at Douglas Aircraft.
Her many jobs included 35 years at Gary Job Corps. She loved to read and was very involved with her church, First Baptist Church. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her family and especially doting on her grandkids. She spent her life supporting her husband of 68 years.
