Charlotte Seidenberg Obituary

Charlotte (Sherman) Seidenberg of 911 Pleasant St., Worcester passed away on November 11th, 2008 at UMass Memorial. She was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Dr. Daniel Seidenberg. She is survived by her sons, David of Worcester and Frederick Seidenberg and his wife Alice of Simsbury, CT; her beloved granddaughter, Lily; and by many cousins, nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews, all of whom she considered her extended family.

Mrs. Seidenberg was born in Whitney Pier, Sydney, Nova Scotia, the daughter of Frederick and Sarah (Epstein) Sherman, where she grew up with her late siblings, Dave, Anne and Sam. She graduated from Sydney Academy where she received the Berchel Medal for academic excellence. Upon her graduation, she matriculated at Ottawa Civic Hospital, where she became a registered nurse and served on the hospital staff for several years. She later served as a charge nurse for Brooklyn Jewish Hospital.

Upon her marriage in 1947, she moved to Worcester and became an active member of Beth Israel Synagogue and participated in many charitable activities, with emphasis on service to the elderly.

In 1999, she was honored by the congregation for her devoted service to Jewish education. In addition to religious education, she was also a preschool teacher at the Jewish Community Center for many years.

She cherished her faith and her family and was known for her kindness towards all, regardless of their faith. Mrs. Seidenberg will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

I was sad to learn about Lottie's passing. I met her a few times at functions in Toronto. She was lovely. My mother, Sophie Sherman Kaplan was her first cousin. Sophie was Ettie's older sister.

I'm very saddened to hear of Lottie's death. I remember Lottie, and my childhood car rides to Worchester; my mom spoke of her often, and very lovingly.
