Charlotte Oppenheim Obituary
Sun. Feb 14, 2016
A memorial and life celebration for Charlotte Oppenheim will be held on Sunday, Feb 14, 2016 at 1 PM at the JCC, 1414 Walnut St., Berkeley, CA. Charlotte died peacefully at her home in Berkeley, CA at age 101 on Jan. 22, 2016. Born July 5, 1914 in Germany into a Jewish family, she fled to New York in the 1930's, later settling in San Francisco. A long marriage with George Oppenheim followed until his death in 1989. Cheerful, smart, an engaging conversationalist, gourmet cook, bridge player par excellence, gardener, arch-liberal, hostess with the mostest, and collector of 4-leafed clovers, she was a beloved friend to all who knew her. Please join us to celebrate the long life of this remarkable woman.To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Charlotte was just as described by others. I met her and George on a Mediterranean cruise in 1983 on the Stella Solaris. We were dinner companions and our friendship extended beyond the cruise. I visited her and George in Oakland and we toured some of California together. We kept in touch after that by letters and holiday cards. I've met many nice people in my travels but Charlotte was really and truly unforgettable.
