ANNABELLE (DOLLY) GOLDBERG

Annabelle (Dolly) Goldberg, z”l, Hannah Basa bat Yitzchak v’Melucha D’rira, passed away Jan. 25,
2022, in Seattle. She was the beloved mother of Michelle, Ken (Jeri) and Jerry; and grandmother of Hunter, Sophie and Jake. She was predeceased by her husband, Leonard, z”l, in 2019.
Dolly was born Aug. 23, 1933, in Salinas, Calif., to Charles and Minnie Finkelstein, along with sisters Beverly and Helaine. 
Her life’s achievements were many, but nothing was more important to her than her family and friends – and serving them their favorite foods as one of her many forms of caring. In their seventh decade of marriage, her adoring husband, Leonard, died in 2019, leaving a hole in her heart that was irreparable. They are united once again, for eternity.
Dolly met Len while she was a nurse at Mt. Zion Hospital in San Francisco, where he was interning to become a cardiologist. After raising three amazing children, she enrolled at Portland State University, where she graduated with honors with a degree in political science and urban planning.
Her passion was knowing about and providing for others, including formal holiday meals for 30 family members, friends and soon-to-be friends a dozen times a year for the past 40 years. Her pride and joy was her certified-Kosher second kitchen, from which she could prepare food to be taken into the synagogue.
Len called her his queen, and we were all blessed to be within her regal sphere.
The funeral was Jan. 30, 2022, at Shaarie Torah Cemetery. The family suggests donations to Kline Galland Hospice in Seattle or Hadassah.
