Edith Peppers Golden, age 91, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 29, 2017 in Pensacola, Florida, where she lived most of her adult life.

She was born October 25, 1926, in Lawrence County Tennessee, the “middle child” of five girls born to Lushion Oliver Peppers and Rosie Lee Griffin Peppers. On May 13, 1945, in Dixonville, Florida, Edith married Jamie Daniel Golden and they moved to Pensacola, Florida, to begin their careers and start a family. Edith worked at the Escambia County Health Department in her early years of marriage and later as a clerk at the Escambia County Tax Collector’s Office. She and Jamie had two girls, Stephanie and Felecia. She was active in her church, the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (now known as Community of Christ). She enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She loved people and people loved her. She appreciated the beauty in nature - trees, flowers, and “puffy white clouds”. She found happiness in small things - a baby’s smile, a special song, or a pretty floral blouse.

Edith is preceded in death by her husband, Jamie Daniel Golden; her parents, Lushion Oliver Peppers and Rosie Lee Griffin Peppers; and two sisters, Gladys Evelyn Hawthorne and Mabel Lee Holland.

She is survived by her daughters, Stephanie (Chris) Lynch and Felecia Ramsey; her two sisters, Ethel Louise Peppers Dixon and Nora Bea Peppers Cook; three grandchildren, Samuel Christopher Lynch III (Trey), Tyler Patrick Lynch, and Jamie Danielle Ramsey; two great-grandchildren, Kaylee Jade Lynch and Kendall Rain Lynch; and countless nieces and nephews.

Funeral Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, December 3, 2017, at Lewis Funeral Home, Pace Chapel. Graveside Service and Interment will follow services at Serenity Gardens Cemetery, Milton.

Visitation will be held 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m., prior to the service.

Edith’s daughters would like to thank the staff of Covenant Hospice for the love and superb care given to their mother.
