Mildred K Golden , October 07, 1935 — February 03, 2019

OBITUARY Mildred K Golden October 7, 1935 – February 3, 2019 Mildred (Millie) Kendrick Golden of Kingwood, Texas, passed away on Sunday morning, February 3, 2019, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on October 7, 1935, to Bulah and William Kendrick in Hemphill, Texas. She is survived by her beloved husband of 41 years, John T. (J.T.) Golden, son Scott Sandlin and wife Susan of Humble, Texas, and daughter Carol Sandlin Heathcock and husband John of Baytown, Texas.

She adored her numerous grandchildren, Krista Strange Moreman, Cullen Jackson, and Courteney Jackson, Joey Sandlin, and Ben Sandlin, plus 6 great-grandchildren, and her husband’s children, Elizabeth Golden Achorn, David Golden, Gretchen Golden Foley, and Judy Golden Jordan, their children, and great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her only sibling, beloved sister Dixie Thompson, her husband Danny, and their children, Ken, Leslie, and Michael. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Kingwood.

Mildred graduated from Shelbyville (Texas) High School in 1952 at the age of 16, worked at Liberty Mutual Insurance Company after graduation, and attended night school at the University of Houston. Millie loved her family, reading, cooking, collecting cookbooks (which she read as novels), the theater, gardening (pre-arthritis), and giving “unwanted advice when she thought it necessary”. She was an exemplary hostess and entertainer, who loved nothing more than gathering around a full table with friends for a great meal and conversation.

Mildred and J.T. spent much of the last twenty years sharing special moments and raucous gatherings with their close friends in the Kingwood Wine Club. She was engaged with many friends and family members in endless (and concurrent) Words With Friends games, and secretly took pride in thrashing nearly everyone who dared take on her challenge. She loved flowers, but if you would prefer to make a donation in her honor, please give to the Cancer Research or Cancer Prevention programs at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, or the Salvation Army.
