When do Snow Golems despawn in Minecraft?

Question

Long ago, I created a large batch of snow golems and let them wander. I don't see them any more. Recently, a boxed snow golem in my home vanished. I thought they lasted forever, but apparently not.

When exactly do snow golems despawn?

The only discusssion of despawning I could find on Minecraft Wiki clearly does not apply to Snow Golems since they last much longer than one minute.

(Please answer with experimental or code evidence (your own or a link), not just passing on what you've heard. There are a lot of urban legends.)

Answer

Based on the fact that my latest boxed golem has stuck around since I asked this question, my conclusion is that they do not despawn under any ordinary circumstances.

The disappearance must have been a glitch — or perhaps a skeleton got in, killed the golem, and despawned itself.
