Family Members:

Varda Goldberg, born in the then Palestine/Israel in 1937, passed away peacefully on 6/8/22. She was a true sabra of Eastern European descent. Her parents were Yehoshua and Fania Tiker z"l. She met her husband Dr. Julian Goldberg z"l, a South African doctor, around 1956 when she was a nurse at Kaplan Hospital, Israel. She gave birth to her oldest son, Allon, in Israel, and when Allon was about 10 months old in 1959, the young family moved to Johannesburg, South Africa. In South Africa, Varda gave birth to 3 more sons, Paul, Daniel and Martin. Tragically, the marriage was short and Julian passed away from cancer in 1965. Varda worked for many years in her family’s wholesale clothing business, managing the Baby Center with her sister-in-law, Pamela Segal z”l. In 2004 after all her children had left South Africa, she made the move to Michigan, where Allon and family reside.
She is survived by her son, Dr. Allon Goldberg and his ex-wife Tessa Goldberg, their daughter Dr. Amy Goldberg, their son-in-law Aakash Gupta, and their grandson, Aviv Goldberg Gupta (Varda’s great-grandson); son Dr. Paul Goldberg and his ex-wife Dr. Lana Lipkowitz and their daughters Kirah and Simone Goldberg; son Daniel and his wife Dr. Gwynne Goldberg and their children Jesse and Zoey Goldberg; and son Martin and his wife Becky Goldberg and their sons David, Yoav and Omri Goldberg. She is also survived by many loving nieces and nephews in South Africa and Israel.
