Goldie Martin and her sisters lived in rural Oklahoma and often played in the streams and woods surrounding their home. They took fresh eggs and potatoes to cook over a campfire, made the outline for their playhouses from rocks, and cut down large branches to serve as husbands.

Sadly, Goldie's carefree childhood was cut short when her mother developed uterine cancer and she, being the oldest girl, shouldered most of the responsibility for her siblings until her mother's death.

A year later their father was murdered and the family scattered in different directions.
