Rhoda Goldstein Obituary
RHODA L. GOLDSTEIN (nee Polmar) April 12, 1930 - April 13, 2022
Born in New York City and raised in Washington, DC, she attended Eastern High School. Rhoda always was interested in art and was awarded an art college scholarship; she instead attended George Washington University while working at various jobs.
She joined the Washington Wholesale Grocery firm and soon was named the only woman buyer in the food industry in the country. While raising three children, Rhoda transitioned to the real estate business where she received many top salesperson awards. Rhoda rose to become a senior vice president of condominium conversions for Cathedral Corporation.
Upon retirement she returned to painting, with her work being exhibited in several art shows. Rhoda enjoyed spending time with her family—especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Rhoda passed away at her home in Bethesda on April 13 - one day after her 92nd birthday. She was predeceased by her husband, David Carl Goldstein. She is survived by two daughters, Karen Frankel (Glenn) and Terri Cohen (Ira) and a son, Scott Goldstein (Polly), six grandchildren, two great grandchildren, and her brother, Norman Polmar.
