On Saturday, February 28, 2015, God called Geneveve Dolores Golden Banks home. Geneveve Golden was born on January 12, 1946 to the late Genevia Clay Golden and Jesse Golden. She was baptized at an early age and earned her Master’s degree in social work from Tulane University. She was a member of Covenant Church for 20 years. She drove 100 miles round trip to her job in Ft. Worth every day for 25 years, serving as Program Compliance Branch Chief. But her family was the most important part of Geneveve’s life. She embodied the love Christ in her words, her actions, and her smile. Her engaging kindness made her a friend to strangers, and her unfailing devotion made her an irreplaceable gem within her family. She is survived and cherished by her children; Dannelle (John) LeBlanc, McKinney,Texas; Angela Banks (Greyson Dunn) Plano, Texas; Lena Banks (Amias Maldonado) Austin, Texas; three grandchildren; Ian Gareth LeBlanc, Emma Nicole LeBlanc, and Ronan Banks Dunn; sister Bernice Corbin, Maurepas, Louisiana; and a precious host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends. She was preceded in death by her mother Genevia Clay Golden and father Jesse Golden, two brothers Melvin (Rebecca) Golden Sr., Percy (Laura) Golden, one sister Bernadine (Morris) Jackson, one niece Sharon (Calvin) Corbin Johnson, and one nephew Melvin “Squeaky” (Lois) Golden, Jr. She is greatly missed and yet still we rejoice in the knowledge that she now rests in the arms of the Lord. The family will greet friends at a visitation on Friday, March 6, 2015 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Covenant Church, 2660 E. Trinity Mills Rd., Carrollton, Texas 75006. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, March 7, 2015 at 11:00 AM also at Covenant Church. Interment will follow at Ridgeview Memorial Park in Allen, Texas. Proverbs 31:10-31King James Version (KJV): Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
