Lynn Roberta Goldman

Lynn was born on July 30, 1945 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, to Alex and Frieda Siegel, where she was raised alongside her sister and best friend, Bobbie Frankel. She graduated from Shaker Heights High School in 1963.

Lynn married the love of her life, Avraham (Avi) Goldman, on August 11, 1973, with whom she shared almost 50 years of laughter, love, and a deeply committed partnership. Lynn’s pride and joy throughout her life were her two devoted daughters, Natalie Barak and Elana Blake, and her five adoring grandchildren, Noa, Jonas, Gilad, Amaya, and Mika.

She spent decades working within the South Euclid School System as a teacher’s aid, where she helped struggling students learn how to read. She also served as the President of the local Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OPSE/AFSME). In her role, Lynn was able to improve the health benefits for all of its members.

Lynn’s home was a welcoming, loving, fun, and supportive environment, where it served as the social hub for her children, their friends, and the kids she aided at the South Euclid School System. She carried on the tradition of creating this type of environment throughout her life, whether it be at her home or anywhere she was.

There are countless memories of her laughter, conversation, and the loving and supportive atmosphere that she effortlessly created. She made everyone’s lives around her better and will be deeply missed. Her influence, compassion, and humor will undoubtedly live on through her family, friends, and all those that were fortunate enough to know and love her.

Lynn is survived by her husband, Avi Goldman; her daughters, Natalie Barak of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and Elana Blake (Jason) of Charlotte, North Carolina; her grandchildren, Noa, Gilad, and Mika Barak and Jonas and Amaya Blake; her sister, Bobbie Frankel; her nephew and nieces, Susan Whitman (Larry), Bill Frankel (Jill), and Amy Hader (David); and her first-cousins Cheryl Jonas (Steve) and Allyne Boehm (Lorenz).
