Laura Goldstein

May 22, 1976 - April 15, 2024 Our beloved daughter and sister, Laura Goldstein, passed away Monday April 15, 2024.
Laura attended Curtis School, was a very proud alumnus of Westlake School for Girls, and continued on to graduate from Harvard-Westlake School. She got her degree at Boston University. Laura was an avid reader, had a passion for cooking, and she loved Geology and Geography.
She entered the working world in public relations, but soon found that her calling was to be an educator. She obtained her teaching credential and became a teacher with the Los Angeles School District, where she taught for over twenty years. She truly wanted to make a difference in a child's life and was very dedicated to her students. She loved teaching and taught at Broadway Elementary School, a Title One school, for many years before moving on to Canyon Elementary School. She was a wonderful teacher, loved by her students and often requested by the parents. She was given the more challenging students, but she never minded and she cared for them and grew to have a special bond with them.
She was a gentle soul, sweet, kind and generous of spirit. She was a loving person with a warm and beautiful smile and a great sense of humor. She was a big sister to her two younger siblings. They were a set of three girls; we were a tight-knit family of 5. Her passing has left an emptiness in our hearts that will never be filled. She will be missed by her parents Betty and Fred; her sisters, Liz and Melissa; their spouses, Chris and Joe; her niece Beckett, nephews Jay and Curren; her Aunties and cousins; her dear long time Westlake School friends; her colleagues and many other friends whose lives were touched by her presence. Her passing is a terrible loss for us all.

A bright light extinguished....A beautiful life gone to soon.
