Kerry Goldmeyer Obituary

Kerry Goldmeyer Mt. Pleasant - Kerry M. Goldmeyer, 73, passed away quietly and joined her Lord on March 8, 2019 after a year's bout with cancer. Born in Baltimore, Md to Lillian Milner McCabe and Daniel McCabe who both predeceased her, she grew up in Manlius, New York, graduated from Cornell University with Bachelor and Masters degrees in Materials Science and Engineering, and married her college sweetheart and husband of 48 years, Rick Goldmeyer, who survives her. Together they moved often with the Navy and Rick's profession around the United States and Italy, settling in Mount Pleasant in 2010. She raised two children, Rev. Aimee C. Goldmeyer of Springville, NY and Dr. James E. Goldmeyer of Erie, Co. She is survived by her children, daughter-in-law Dr. Roxanna Webber Goldmeyer and granddaughter Julia Sally Goldmeyer of Erie, Co, and siblings James McCabe of Atlanta, Ga., Merrily McCabe Coe of Salem, Or., and Daniel McCabe of Palisade, Co. Kerry was active and held leadership positions throughout the community at Palmetto Presbyterian Church, Presbyterian Pilgrimage and Cursillo both locally and nationally, and as a Master Gardener in both South Carolina and Virginia. An Enrolled Agent with the IRS, she worked for many years as a tax preparer for H&R Block and Block Advisors, taking pride in her ability to help clients manage their tax liabilities and ease their annual filing experiences. A memorial service to honor Kerry's life will be held on Saturday 23 March at 11:00 at Palmetto Presbyterian Church 1720 Carolina Park BLVD, Mt Pleasant, SC 29466 with a reception following. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Palmetto Presbyterian Church Building Fund. Visit our guestbook at www.legacy.com/obituaries/ charleston

To all Kerry's family
Truly, it was not the greatness of her statue but the greatness of her ways that made Kerry such a force. I worked with Kerry for many years and watched her help both clients and colleagues solve difficult situations with both confidence and passion. I will miss her greatly.

Rick, Aimee and James, I am so sorry for your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. Since hearing of her passing, our Grand Canyon adventure has been playing in my mind. It's hard to lose another canyon buddy, what great memories we made. I vividly remember early on the river, Kerry gamely facing the wind and rain, all the while battling that flimsy rain poncho, while a few of us instead were moaning that we wanted to go home. That's how I remember her, quiet and brave, and ready for anything.

Love,
Cecelia Jolley

Kerry willingly shared her immense tax knowledge with her clients and co-workers no matter how busy she was. She was respected not only for being a talented tax preparer but for being a person of strong character and values. Kerry was loved by many and is greatly missed. Genevieve Butler

May your family be comforted. Kerry was a treasure and will be greatly missed. Her brilliance, her laughter, and the way in which she guided others closer to the light of Jesus is something that will always stay with me.

Mrs. Goldmeyer prepared my taxes for the last 7 years as an expert in the complicated world of clergy income assessmemnt. She was always a kind and all-so-patient person. She was very proud of her family. She knew clergy taxes expertly because of her daughters ordained ministry in the Presbyterian Church and she had plenty of pictures of her precious granddaughter in her office. Ive been praying for her in this year since I learned of her illness and I will continue to lift up her family. She will be deeply missed by all of us who knew of her and her deep faith. As her Lord once said, Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. God give you rest good servant! We will never forget you!

So sorry for the family's loss. No words can ever express the loss of a loved one. May all of you find comfort and peace in all the loving memories you've shared together. Please be comforted in knowing that God understands your grief and he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6,7)
