OBITUARY: Stephanie Golden

Stephanie Golden, age 54, of Shawneetown, died Tuesday, Aug. 21, 2012, in the Harrisburg Medical Center after a courageous battle with cancer. Stephanie was born in Eldorado Nov. 14, 1957, to the late Dale and Anna Mae (Doerr) Golden. Stephanie worked most of her life on the farm helping her brother, had managed Bicketts in Old Shawneetown for many years and up until her death was looking after many oil wells. She loved to be outside and fish, but her real passion was her animals, especially her dogs, Leroy, Brutus and Hannah, whom she loved.
