Edna Lee Duggins Golding Buff, born on January 15,1937, in Winston Salem, NC was sent to her eternal home on May 11, 2025, in Stokesdale, N.C.
She was the beloved daughter of Harry and Alma Duggins.
Edna was a shining light in the lives of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Edna was preceded in death by husband, John C. Golding; husband, Bill Buff; daughter, Lynn Cash; and step-son, Lynn Buff.
Her journey on this earth was one marked by love, compassion and unwavering faith in God. Her passing has left a void in hearts of her family, friends, thousands of teens who were touched by her and her new friends at Countryside Manor. We ask that you remember her for the way she lived, and for the profound impact she had on the lives of those who had the pleasure of knowing her.
Those who knew Edna will remember her for her infectious smile and overwhelming laughter, her deep-rooted faith in Jesus, and her unwavering commitment to spreading love, kindness, and her testimony to everyone she encountered. She was witnessing and sharing God's love up until the end. It's now up to the rest of us to carry on her works of witnessing and sharing God's eternal life for all of us and His unconditional Love.
Edna is survived by two daughters and one son, Sandy Bolick (Clay) of High Point, Angela Golding of Morganton, and Jay Golding (Sarah) of Summerfield; nine grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren, Josh (Jenna) of Blowing Rock and children Lucas, Lainey, Davis; Jenny of Boone and children Cora Lynn, Adah, Michael, Miriam, Susannah, Elisabeth; Jamie (Sam) of Blowing Rock and children Emma, Charlie, and Evie; Mandy (Reid) of Wilmington and children Murphy, Winston, and Burton; Kelly of New York City, Austin of Morganton, Elle of Summerfield, Elise of Summerfield, and Emerson of Summerfield.
