Fredricka Goldstine Obituary

Formerly of Glencoe, Northbrook and Rancho Mirage, CA, Freddie has died just short of her 94th birthday. Her love for her family was unconditional, always: for her daughter Susan Rifkin, for Susan's husband Bob, for the grandchildren she adored, Samantha, Ryan and Steven. In her later years she was slowed by many health problems, but in spite of them, she arose each morning and faced her day as best she could. At the Mount Sinai cemetery in Los Angeles, there's a secluded spot with a bench nearby where visitors can pause to reminisce and remember. It's quiet there, shaded by trees, peaceful. That's where Freddie is now, beside her husband Jerry and her daughter Marcy. Just the way she wanted.

I've just returned from a visit to Minocqua and Camp Kawaga. I was at Kawaga for many years. During that time, my parents came up for Visitors Weekend and, thanks to Jerry and Freddie's hospitality, always spent an evening at Lilee Lodge. Once I became a counselor and had nights off, I joined them for what was for me a thrill to be at such a gorgeous place. My mother knew Richard Berkson from childhood, so it was always a bit of a reunion for them. Dale's Cove, as I recall a favorite of Richard's and maybe Jerry's too, is no longer there but we still manage to find some longtime supper clubs and talk of those days. Kawaga is in its 105th year and going strong.

My sympathies.

Bob Sideman, Glencoe
