Hilda Goldish, a'h - better known as Grandma (or "Grandma Cleveland"). She was 95 years old. She had the biggest smile in the world, worked for the Hebrew Academy greeting card room until she was 87 years old, drank Coke (and only Coke) from 10-90, and lived in the same house on Shannon Road for nearly 60 years. She loved nothing more than little kids - "until they talk back" and her biggest complaint in life was that "that guy" on Jeopardy (her favorite show) who kept winning "wasn't letting other people have a turn". She also had a huge yellow cookie jar that was always full, a cheap plastic basket stuffed with strawberry (or Elite lemon) candies, and that bottom drawer in the kitchen with some of the oldest (but best) toys you've ever seen.The accompanying picture is the last time we saw her, Pesach time.
The funeral will be in Cleveland on Sunday at 3:00pm at Berkowitz Kumin Bookatz.

ReplyDelete95 was a full life. Just from what I know of you, Serach, Elianna, and Kayla (and I'm sure this holds true for the rest of your family, too), she had a lot to be proud of and has a really solid dynasty representing her.
Baruch Dayan Emet. Sorry Ezzie.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry Ezzie - condolences to your whole family from the Carusos

ReplyDeletemy heart actually hurts...words escape me...maybe a story/memory instead
ReplyDeleteMrs. Goldish (who w/ appologies to ezzie's mother is how i always knew her and will always remember her) is responsible for my first memory of what it means to be a friend.
As a little boy i remember walking with my family after Kol Nidrei davening along with my grandmother a"h to Mrs. Goldish's house. My grandmother lived in a different neighborhood by that time but always came back to the shul for R"H and Y"K. She would need a place to stay and you see Ezzie's grandmother lived much closer to shul than we did (about a 10 minute walk compared to 25) and since it was hard for my grandmother to walk she would always stay there as apposed to our house..."because that's what what friend's are for".
i have never forgotten that and i never will. it may seem like a small thing to others but to me it represented two people/famalies who had been friends longer than i could certainly remember and defined the simplicity of true friendship.

Thank you everyone for your kind wishes.
