OBITUARY

A selfless, loving, dedicated mother, sister, daughter, wife and friend, Sally Goldgeier passed away December 16 in Seattle, Washington.

Born May 18, 1942 in the Bronx to Evelyn and James Silver, she graduated from Queens College and soon began her teaching career at elementary schools in New York City. After moving to Atlanta, she taught English as a Second Language at the Epstein School and later in several Dekalb County elementary schools. “If there was a revolution in that country, that’s where my new students came from,” she often said.

She met her future husband Charles on a blind date. They married in September 1963 and remained together for 57 years. Once in Atlanta, Sally quickly became part of the Jewish community as a member of Shearith Israel, Hadassah, and later Gesher L’Torah. Once she and Charles retired, they traveled the world, visiting Australia, New Zealand and Israel, and went on several cruises.

Sally was preceded in death by her parents Evelyn and James Silver, husband Charles, and son Jimmy. She is survived by her son Dan and daughter-in-law Valerie Nozick of Seattle, sisters Martha & Jeanette Silver of Bayside, New York, and sister-in-law Maxine McKeown of Las Vegas, Nevada.

Funeral services will be held at Crest Lawn Cemetery in Atlanta on Friday, December 20 at 10:30am.

DONATIONS: In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Jimmy Goldgeier Scholarship Fund at Kennesaw State University, which honors the memory of Sally’s son by helping future architects pursue their dreams.
