Carol Goldstein Obituary
Carol Hirschler Goldstein died peacefully at Westminster-Canterbury on Tuesday, July 6, 2010.
She was born in Oakland, California, on December 31, 1932, to Frederick Salz Hirschler and Marjorie Manheim Hirschler.
Carol grew up in California and received a Bachelor's in music from Stanford University, where she met her husband, Samuel J. Goldstein. They were happily married for 44 years and raised four daughters together.
A homemaker and musician, Carol was also an avid reader and shared her love of books in many ways. As a volunteer at the International Center at the University of Virginia, she led an ESL book group. In addition, she was a regular volunteer at the Friends of the Library book sale. She was a music and choir director at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Church Unitarian Universalist, and elsewhere.
Carol is survived by four daughters, Linda B. Goldstein, Annemarie Jutel, Janet Beucler, and Ellen Goldstein. She is also survived by three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
The family invites friends to join them for a reception 2 p.m. Sunday, July 11, 2010, at Westminster-Canterbury of the Blue Ridge.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution in her honor to the Wednesday Music Club, the Friends of the Library, or Habitat for Humanity.

Dear Linda, Annemarie, Janet, & Ellen:
I am so sorry to learn of your mother's death. I'll never forget Carol's kindness, when she and Ellen visited me with chocolate chip cookies in 1977, after my husband died. Sam and Nelson were good buddies! They will all be missed.

Linda, Annemarie, Janet, and Ellen,
I was very sorry to hear of your mother's death. Your parents were very important to me in my early years in Charlottesville.
Our thoughts are with you,

Carol - while Sam was my science mentor, you were my cooking & practicality mentor - I'll remember always your advice while I was a grad student living at Harvard's Agassiz Station on cooking ["Carol, I've cooked the liver 5 mins. on each side - now what do I do?"] and on fixing electronics ["Carol, the power supply doesn't work & I can't reach Sam - what should I do?" "Well I always try just kicking it!"].
May you enjoy music and reading for eternity!
