Adelle Barbara Goldstein died on Nov. 8 in Brooklyn, New York, after a brief illness.
Adelle was born on Dec. 3, 1938, in Kansas City, Missouri, to Hyman and Sarah Zeldin. She was a twin along with her sister, Estelle Grundstein.
In June 1959, she married Marvin Goldstein as he was starting his medical residency. They moved to Philadelphia in 1960, then to Columbia, Missouri, in 1961, and then to Kansas City in 1963.
Adelle loved to play cards, particularly Bridge, and she loved her weekly Mahjongg game with the ladies. She was active in Congregation Beth Shalom Sisterhood for decades and was charitable supporting many human service organizations. She loved all of that, but her number one love was her family.
She was a dutiful daughter who helped to care for her mother, who lived to 106, and she was a loving wife and mother who made it her point to take great care of her family. She also loved her siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, but most of all, “Bubie” loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She loved family, she loved cooking, and Friday night and holiday dinners were her thing, and she was the best at it.
She is survived by her children, Bruce Goldstein of Roswell, Georgia, Alan Goldstein (Megan) of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and Stephanie Eisenbach (Danny) of Brooklyn; her grandchildren, Katie, Jessie, Ethan, Isabelle, Caleb, Rochel, Shalom, Yoni, Rivki, Chaim, Yaakov and Avrumi; her 15 great-grandchildren and counting; her brothers Stan Zeldin (Joyce) and Robert Zeldin (Jean) of Overland Park, Kansas; and her other sister-in laws Irene Silberg of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Zelma Saltzman of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Marvin Goldstein; her brother Bert Zeldin; and her sister, Estelle Grundstein.
The family held graveside services on Nov. 11, 2024 at the Yukon Chapel at Mt. Carmel Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Village Shalom, Congregation Beth Shalom or a charity of the donor’s choice.
