EDITH GOLDSMITH Obituary

GOLDSMITH--Edith. Boys Town Jerusalem mourns the passing of a cherished member of its extended family. Edith, wife of our esteemed Board member and valued friend, Fred Goldsmith, was his partner in life and philanthropy. Theirs was indeed a "marriage made in Heaven", which they were privileged to share for 62 years. The Goldsmiths' generous support and leadership over four decades, going back to Boys Town's early years, has enabled the school to fulfill its mission of turning young boys from limited backgrounds into young men with limitless futures. We extend heartfelt condolences to the entire family and pray that they will find comfort in their fond memories and be consoled among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Rabbi Moshe Linchner, Dean Josh S. Weston, Honorary Chairman Michael J. Scharf, President Robert Kaswell, Chairman Rabbi Ronald Gray, EX VP

Edith was always so kind to me and always made a choclate chip cake for me when she was in Florida.
I am with heavy heart that she has passed.
Now I feel that I have another Angle watching over me.and her name is Edith.
