Goldie was a lovely child. She attended the local one-room school that her sister Grace taught. She was diagnosed with a digestive disorder, and diabetes was the only such disease known at the time. But her symptoms, as handed down, were more like celiac disease than diabetes. This diagnosis is supported by the fact that celiac but not diabetes is found among several Gerardy descendants.
