Esther Fowler Golden Obituary
Esther Bernice Fowler Golden, 87 of Polk City passed away August 7, 2020.
She was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ford, and the wife of 50 years to the late Joe Lee Fowler.

Esther was a spirit-filled prayer warrior who prayed for many people. She was active at First Assembly of God and Carpenter’s Home Churches, where she taught Sunday school for over 30 years and served as a missionary in Argentina. She was known as the ‘Salad Queen’ while working at Southeastern University in Lakeland because of her ability to turn fruits and vegetables into decorative art.
