_http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi_ (http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ssdi.cgi) lets you check the SSDI. I tried for Golden and just for G McWilliams. No Golden, and no G McWilliams in Florida. Not sure how current this SSDI is, though.

She is in her 80's. She was in poor health and was recovering at a granddaughter's house. I have that address and continued to send cards there for the past year and a half. I do not get a response from her, nor will her granddaughter let me know of Golden's status. Is there any definite way for me to find out if she has died? Thanks. Take care, J.
