Pratt

Goldia Pratt joined her husband, Roger Pratt, to celebrate their 66th anniversary in heaven on June 17, 2016. Goldia was born at home in the Appalachian Mountains in Sardis, Ohio to Friend and Mildred (Kaufman) Eikleberry on September 21, 1932. Her family moved to Wooster, Ohio where she was a farm girl. She graduated from Wooster H. S. and worked at Newberries where she met Roger. After they were married, they lived in Newark, Ohio, South Carolina and then Toledo.
Goldia was fortunate to be stay at home mom. She liked sewing, knitting, raising French poodles, computer surfing, sleeping and watching tv. While taking classes at U of T, she helped the theater group by sewing costumes and helping dancers back stage. She even tried belly dancing !
After she had an empty nest, she tried her hand at various ventures including investing in real estate, owned a racing horse, managed a country music band and a recording studio. She was a member of REIA. Her biggest joy was watching her family grow.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Roger; son, David; stepfather, Darl Walton; sister, Betty (Jack) Stanford; brother, John Eikleberry and stepmother, June Eikleberry.
Surviving are her children, Toni Kinner, Terry (John) Siegwald and Howard (Cindy) Pratt; 14 grandchildren; 10 great grandchildren; brothers, Clair, Mark and Harold; sister, Nancy and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Visitation will be held at the Foth-Dorfmeyer Mortuary, 3815 Sylvania Ave. (at Woodley Rd.) on Monday after 3 p.m. where funeral services will follow at 5 p.m. The family prefers memorial contributions to the American Diabetes Association.
