Pamela Gayle Golden
May 24, 1958 ~ February 16, 2018
Pamela Gayle Golden passed away February 16, 2018 in New Braunfels, TX following a lengthy illness. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family. Pam was born in Houston, TX on May 24, 1958. She is survived by her son Tyler Golden and wife Liz; parents Peggy and Lynn Hill; sisters Karen Heldt, Sandy Parker, Toni Hill; brother Bobby Golden; nieces Kim McDougald and Amy Golden, nephew Jack Golden; and grand-nieces and nephew who loved Pam very much.
Pam grew up in Houston, TX. She was a 1976 graduate of Alief High School. Following high school, Pam moved to Austin, TX and then later to San Marcos, TX where she worked in various clerical positions. Pam had a love for her family, friends and animals, especially cats. Her most recent favorite pastime was to play “Words with Friends”.
Pam was diagnosed with critical illness and suffered a life-threatening episode during the summer of 2016. To the surprise of her family and the medical community, Pam rallied back after several months of intensive care. After this episode, Pam resided in a nursing home in New Braunfels, Texas as she worked on improving her health. She made the best of her new environment and soon became loved by the patients and staff. She always made a point to get to know everyone and address them by name.
Pam's family is extremely saddened by her death. She will be sorely missed. Details of a memorial will be communicated at a later date.

My condolences to the Golden families. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Pamela. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”. And the Bible also says “The righteous themselves will inherit the earth, and they will forever reside upon it”. Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you.
Pam and I met when my family moved to Alief, Texas in 1970. We lived in the same neighborhood and became best friends throughout middle school and high school. I will never forget those coming of age years. Pam’s love of adventure and fun bonded us together. Until we could drive, we crossed the bridge between our houses, or met halfway on that bridge, thousands of times. In the early years it was walking home from school together, listening to records, smoking, calling boys, walking to Dairy Queen, playing hookey from school…. In later years we learned to drive, cruised the mall, attended concerts, drove to the beach, and hung out with Christie and Denise, We drifted apart at 23 when I got married and moved to Oklahoma. Pam called every so often to check in. During those calls, she was always happy for me and my growing family, but her life was never going so well. Pam struggled with her demons and I didn’t do anything to help her. One thing I feared and appreciated at the same time was Pam’s brutal honesty. Pam told it like it was. Pam you are a part of my childhood memories and therefore will always be with me. Your love for fun, your fierceness, sadness and brutal honesty still stand out. And that is how I will always remember you. I love you Pam. Lisa (Weisman)Goranson
