Goldie Trahan Bengtson

Abbeville – A celebration of life for Goldie Bengtson, 65, will be held Monday January 31, 2022 at 7:00 PM in David Funeral Home with Pastor Joseph Williams officiating.

Visitation will be held Monday January 31, 2022, from 10:00 AM until time of services.

Goldie known as Mom by her children, was a Loving Daughter, Sister, Mother, Grandmother, and Wife whom always cared more for others than she expected in return.

She enjoyed travelling while acquiring many antiques and collectables, loved watching her children and grandchildren’s sporting events and activities, and will be remembered for her love of a good card game. Mom wanted to spend as much time as possible together as a family and was there whenever we needed.  Christmas time was her favorite time of year, where she would excessively decorate every room that she could in the house, and her yard.

Her love of sports was amazing to us all, as she usually was the first to holler Who Dat when the Saints were on and was also quick to rub in our faces when the Alabama Crimson Tide was going to beat LSU.  She was all of our biggest fan and wasn’t shy about telling everyone how proud she was of each and every one of us.

Her laugh was very distinct and contagious as well.  If she thought something was funny, her cackling laugh alone would make it hysterical.  She had a very bright personality that we will always cherish.

Spending most of her adult life as a Caregiver, she loved sitting children of others as well as almost all of her Grand and Great Grandchildren.  She said recently that nothing was more rewarding than seeing almost everyone grow up to be responsible adults.  We still don’t quite know which of the many she was referring to when she said “almost.”

She was loved by all and will be missed dearly.  In one last dedication to you Mom, Roll Tide!

This isn’t a goodbye, it’s see you later!!!
