She loved riding horses and helping her dad as a young girl. She attended rural schools, received her GED and attended business school in Lincoln. As a young girl, Goldie went to live and work for Nona and Don Hanna at Brownlee. Nona became like a second mother to her. It was there she met Paul Pound and they were united in marriage on Dec. 24, 1942, shortly before Paul entered the Army. Their oldest daughter, Wynona Lee, was born at Fort Warren in Cheyenne, Wyo. After Paul left the service, they lived on a ranch southeast of Valentine, where their second daughter, Shari May, was born. In 1950, they moved and ranched at Brownlee. In 1955, the family moved to Thedford and they lived there until Paul's death in 1985. Goldie loved reading and enjoyed working at the Thedford Library. She also worked at the Thedford Drive-In and made pies for the Thedford Sale Barn Café. She was a good cook and enjoyed sharing her homemade bread and other foods with her family and friends. In 1986, Goldie moved to Valentine where she enjoyed helping and caring for others in need. Goldie was a 50-year member of the Thedford United Church of Christ, the Order of the Eastern Stars and the Thedford American Legion Auxiliary. Survivors include two daughters, Wynona (Duane) Bolton, of Brownlee, and Shari (John) Jensen, of Arthur; a sister-in-law, Esther Lighthill, of Kansas City, Mo.; six grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
