    Helen B. Goldberg, 101, (nee Greenberg) passed away Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at Mercy Regional Medical Center.
     Helen was born in Cleveland on December 13, 1916, the daughter of the late Isadore and Rebecca (nee Snizetsky) Greenberg. She graduated from John Hay High School and attended Lorain County Community College and Kent State University. 
     She was a loyal member of the Agudath B'Nai Israel Synagogue, and a member of its Temple Sisterhood and Hadassah.  She was honored by Sisterhood as a Woman of Commitment.
     Helen retired as a civilian employee of the US Navy in the early 1980's. She also was employed at the Independent Press, Lorain City Schools and worked in marketing. 
     Helen was a regular columnist for the A.B.I. Synagogue Jewish Community News for years and still wrote her column at age 101.  Her thirst for knowledge led her to audit classes at LCCC well into her 80's.  She was a member of the Eastside Block Watch. She was a Red Hat Lady.  She enjoyed spending time at the Domonkas Library, ballet dancing, classical music, opera, art, bowling (winning several trophies), and foreign travel.  She was a fan of Rachel Maddow.  When young, she danced ballet.
     She is survived by sons Eugene H Goldberg of East Meadow, NY, Phil A Goldberg of Nashville, TN, grandson Seth (Stephanie Sklar) Goldberg, great granddaughter Jenna Goldberg, and sisters, Mathilda Kolt of Chagrin Falls, and Ruth Sandler of Beachwood. 
     In addition to her parents, Helen was predeceased by her husband Marvin Goldberg in 1983, sisters: Mollie Siegel, Mildred Hutner, and Sylvia Shichtman; and brothers: Edward Greenberg and Max Greenberg.
