The Golden Age has usually been described as running from Campbell's rise as editor at Astounding to the name change to Analog. Which happened just as the New Wave of SF was taking hold and Campbell's influence fading.
So yes, any writer published within 1938-1960 falls within the Golden Age.
There's still a couple active that fit the designation.
