Subject: Re: Frugia family
Goldie, who we called Nan Nan, was the kindest person I've ever known. She was a wonderful Christian and I was proud to call her my grandmother. However she was my natural grandmothers next door neighbor and best friend and never felt like she deserved to be called Grandma because she wasn't our "real" grandmother, so Nan Nan it was, although no one could have wanted for a more loving grandmother. She actually helped the doctor deliver my mother (at home, of course). The family legend always said when my mother was born that her mother told Goldie "If it's another red headed baby you can have it." and as it happened my mother was red headed when she was born. My mother was only 7 when her mother died in 1936. A few years later Goldie's 1st husband died and she subsequently married my grandfather. She's been gone for 30 years now and I still get a lump in my throat when I think about her.
*************************
Memorial to Goldie posted to findagrave by Tom Tinsley:
Goldie Frugia was married to Walter Louie Baldwin on 15 March 1916 in Beaumont, Texas. Walter was a carpenter and in 1928 he and 2 other carpenters bought property next to each other in Vidor, Texas. In a short time they had built a 1 room frame house on each property. One of those families was John and Axie Brian who moved into their new home next door to the Baldwins over Easter weekend, 1928. The next month Axie gave birth to her second child in their new home and Goldie Baldwin helped the doctor deliver the baby. Axie and John had a 7 year old son, Loice, who had curly red hair and Axie joked that if this was another red headed baby that Goldie could have it. As it happened the baby girl WAS red headed. Axie died almost 8 years later and Goldie looked after the daughter and, following Walter's death in 1940, she married Axie's widower, John Talmage Brian, on 8 April 1944. She never had children of her own but was the most wonderful step mother to the red headed baby who ironically became hers just as Axie had promised when she was born. She was also the most loving grandmother to the children of that little girl. She taught kindness, patience and love. Goldie preferred to stand in the shadows and never thought she deserved to be called Grandma since she had been close to Axie and never wanted to detract from her memory. Instead she was lovingly known as Nan-Nan to her grandchildren although the world has never known anyone more deserving of being called Grandma. She was an humble servant of the Lord and truly earned her rewards in heaven. We love you and miss you, Nan-Nan.
