Known among her family and friends as Mom, Mamma, Grandma, GG, and Aunt Allie, Allie Flippen Golding recently celebrated her 100th birthday.
“She has never driven a car, flown in an airplane, ridden on a train, or traveled farther than the East Coast…nevertheless, her wisdom and faith have helped guide the lives of doctors, nurses, educators, farmers, textile workers, stay-at-home moms, soldiers, independent business owners, builders of automobiles, business managers and students” her family said recently.
She has 13 children, 34 grandchildren, 72 great-grandchildren, and 31 great-great-grandchildren.
“She is probably best known in the Beulah community, where she has lived for 100 years, for her cooking,” the family said. “There has not been a celebration, loss or reunion that she has not contributed delicious food. For many years, it was often prepared on an old-fashioned wood cook stove.”
“Allie Golding loves unconditionally, has a quick wit, amazing memory, and a faith that never wavers. She has been a comfort, enjoyment, and strength to all who have been blessed to know her,” her family said.
