Goldman passed away October 12, 2006, at her home in the Black Forest. She was born July 27, 1936, in Washington D.C. to Arval L. and Maysel Anderson. For 50 years she was married to Henry "Hank" Goldman with whom she had three children: Leslie Hicks of Colorado Springs, Lynne Vagt of Oak Harbor, Washington, and Duane Goldman of Bloomington, Indiana. She is survived by 14 grandchildren; a brother, Roger Anderson of San Jose, California; and two sisters: Berniece Bell of Bakersfield, California and Darlene Anderson of Omaha, Nebraska. Dolores graduated from Weber College in Ogden, Utah, where she spent her early years. She was an amazingly wise, courageous and loving mom and grandmom as well as an unsurpassed life partner for her husband, Hank. She will be missed more than words can say. Her cheerful outlook on life, her wise counsel and her boundless love will be impossible to duplicate. In addition to the countless hours devoted to her family, Dolores was an accomplished vocalist.
