Obituary of HELENE RUTH SIEGEL

Please share a memory of HELENE to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.

Helene Goldstein Siegel passed away on Saturday, September 16, 2023 at the age of 93. Born and raised in Elizabeth, she raised her family and lived in Scotch Plains for 60 years before moving to New Providence in 2018. In her later years, Helene was a “snow bird” and spent many winter months enjoying the milder weather of Boynton Beach, FL.

 

Helene was an avid tennis player and lived to travel the world and attend cultural activities. Attending theater or visiting an art museum

followed by fine dining in New York City were her favorite activities. She read her New York Times daily and was happiest when socially engaging with friends & family.

 

She was predeceased in death by spouse Harold Goldman, daughter Dr. Lesley Siegel and sister Marjorie Vogelbaum.

 

She is survived by her son Andrew Siegel (Mary), son-in-law Dr. Lawrence Levenson; grandchildren Rachel Levenson, Dr. Jeremy Levenson (Sucharita Kanjilal), Jane Siegel Richards (David), Emily Siegel (Joshua Osborne) and great granddaughter, Tegan Richards.

 

A graveside service will be held on Thursday, September 21 at 11:00 am at Beth Israel Cemetery in Woodbridge, NJ. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Goldstein’s Funeral Chapel in Edison, NJ.

 

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating in her memory to two organizations where family members are actively engaged: Open Table Food Pantry or Make the Road NJ. Open Table is a regional food relief organization based in Maynard & Concord, MA. Helene’s daughter-in-law Mary Siegel serves as President of their Board of Directors.
