Golda Snyder was born February 10, 1913 to William and Rosa (Schmitt) Snyder at Oak, NE. She attended country school and graduated from Nelson High School in 1931.
On February 25, 1936 she married Ralph Follmer who had proposed to her by mail. They lived on numerous farms in Nebraska. After leaving the farm, they lived in a mobile home, and moved it to the various towns in Nebraska and Wyoming. The oldest 3 children were born at home. In Golda's younger years, she loved working, especially outdoors. In fact, she worked right beside Ralph on the farm. She drove tractors, milked cows, raised pigs and chickens, and had a huge garden. After moving from the farm, she worked at Cornhusker Army Ammunition Plant, grocery stores, and many years in the cafeteria at Saint Francis Hospital in Grand Island. She retired at the age of 80.

Golda enjoyed life and her passions were her family, playing cards, crossword puzzles, crocheting afghans, and her garden. She belonged to Calvary Lutheran Church in Grand Island and attended Faith Community Church in Aurora.
