She was born March 30th, 1923, in Oak Hill, Ohio to the late Lewis and Myrtle Coon. In August of 1942, she married Paul Delaney, who passed away in 1989.
Goldie was a faithful member of the Old Country Church in Oak Hill until she moved North to be near her daughters and family. She worked several jobs during her lifetime, but she enjoyed being home and doing for her family and others the most. She will be remembered for being a very loving and caring person who never had a problem with anyone. She was a great cook, especially her pumpkin pie and apple dumplings. Her loving nature never let anyone go home hungry or needing anything.
