Sandra Goldberg Obituary

Sandra Joyce Goldberg

April 17, 1938 - November 26, 2017

Loving wife of Joseph Goldberg of blessed memory, mother of Lawrence (Karen) Goldberg and Kenneth (Kathryn) Goldberg, grandmother of Tara, Rachel, Maxwell and Samuel Goldberg, sister of Judy Scott, aunt and friend to many.

A native San Franciscan and graduate of Washington High School and UCSF School of Nursing, Sandra quickly rose to head nurse of UCSF's OB floor. She left nursing in 1965 to raise her two sons, but remained a leader and organizer in her local homeowners' association and PTA. In the 1980s, she began a second career as a travel agent, first at St. Francis Travel and later Quinn Travel. She loved the work, traveled the world, and was loved by her many clients.

Sandra was creative, talented, thoughtful and generous. Her energy, enthusiasm, positive attitude and big, beautiful smile were blessings to all who knew her.

Donations in Sandra's honor can be made to Alzheimer's Association, ALZ.org.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
