Goldie Boxer Zerobnick, a prolific volunteer and possibly the oldest, continuous member of Green Gables Country Club, passed away Sept. 2, 2010, in Denver. She was 99.
Rabbis Steven Foster and Joe Black and Cantor Regina Heit officiated at the Sept. 3 service held at Temple Emanuel. Interment followed at Rose Hill Cemetery. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
She loved life and always had a smile on her face, said daughter Natalie Mozer. A happy-go-lucky and friendly person, she never said anything negative about anyone.
Like Auntie Mame, she would get down on the floor and play with the grandchildren when she was in her 70s, Natalie said. She was generous with everyone.
Goldie Boxer was born Aug. 16, 1911, in Denver. The oldest of eight children, she attended Cheltenham, graduated North High and briefly worked at Neusteters.
She married Joseph Zerobnick on Oct. 1, 1933. He passed away in 1974.
Very active at the old Beth Israel, she helped raise funds for the home.
Mrs. Zerobnick also was involved in planning the early Carousel Balls for the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes, where she was a board member.
A member of Temple Emanuel, she supported Shalom Park and loved going to Green Gables.
Mrs. Zerobnick is survived by her daughter Natalie Mozer; brothers Morris Boxer and Stanley Boxer and sister Florie Melnick; grandchildren Sheri Mozer, Jill (Scott) Saunders and Lora Mozer; and great-grandsons Connor, Hunter and Tyler.
