SYLVIA GOLDSTEIN Obituary

GOLDSTEIN, Sylvia (Rubin) Born on July 22, 1930, and passed away on April 26, 2020, at the age of 89. Born and raised in Chelsea, she met and married her late husband Berton Goldstein, and moved to Peabody to raise their family. Their family-owned business, Goldstein's Supermarket, allowed them to keep strong ties in the Chelsea community. Devoted mother of Gary Goldstein & his wife Dayle, Sheryl Seltser & her husband Peter, Betty Arsenault & her husband Michael, and Karen Benson & her husband Stephen Hampton. Cherished grandmother of Adam, Stephani, Joshua, Richard, Danielle, Jason, Eric, and great-grandmother of Arianna, Amaris, Sophie, Luke, Lilianna, Ethan, Hannah, Sadie and Keegan. Loving sister of Alan Rubin, and the late Norman Rubin, Sarah Grow, Nettie Cores and Esther Rubin. The center of Sylvia's world was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was the heart of the entire family and was the most caring, loving woman who truly loved her family more than anything else in the world. Her kindness to others extended far beyond her immediate family. She will be greatly missed by all of us. Due to the current health crisis, the Services will be private.

Condolences on the loss of your mom. When I was a youngster my grandmother married William Goldstein. He worked the fish market at Goldsteins Market. I would go daily with my grandma to pick him up. In an old rickety ford station wagon that smelt like fish over the Mystic River Bridge, first exit at the bottom of the ramp. We were on our way. What a memory. So much fun. When I was 10 a plane crashed in Boston Harbor.

We use to share holidays with the Harold & Phyllis Goldstein family and visit with the Barbara Goldstein Silver family in California. Albeit fleeting they were good memories.

Take care, treasure your memories of your mom.
