Barbara Goldberg Obituary

Barbara Lee Goldberg, affectionately known as Bubbie B, left this world on November 5, 2025, at the age of 87. Born in Sioux City, IA, on December 2, 1937, to Frankie and Emil Levich. A proud resident of Minnetonka, Minnesota, Barbara was a beacon of strength, grace, and kindness. Her life was a testament to the words of Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Barbara's beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her family and friends. Her loving sister Leslie Knight (Fred). Her devoted son's; Fred Goldberg (Nancy), Nate Goldberg (Fede), and Ross Goldberg (Cheryl). Her adoring grandchildren; Maggie, Joey, Traver, Spencer, Luca, Olivia, and four great grandchildren; Frankie, Goldi, Michah, and Dolly. In addition, Barbara treasured her relationships with her younger cousins, and lifelong friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Donald T. Goldberg.
Barbara carried with her a lifetime of warmth, joy, and an infectious love of life that she shared generously with all who knew her.
A gathering of family and close friends will be held Thursday, November 6, 2025, 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM at 3030 St. Albans Mill Rd. (lower-level party room)
