Rachel Tara Goldberg

After a two- year battle with Inflammatory Breast Cancer, Rachel passed away peacefully with her parents by her side. She is survived by her beloved mother Linda Dembo (Dr. Phil) and beloved father Dr. Richard Goldberg (Stacy). Rachel is the beloved sister of Madison Goldberg, the late Jonathan Goldberg and Adam Goldberg, aunt of Calvin Goldberg, and step-sister of Elizabeth Dembo and Justin Dembo. Rachel also is the niece of beloved uncle, Michael Kohn “Uncle Mikey,” granddaughter of Etele Kohn, the late Judge Louis Kohn, Susan Isackson, Robert Isackson, and Herbert Goldberg, and dear friend of an amazing group of close friends from across the globe.

Rachel lived as she passed, fighting beyond the unfairness in life she felt. Rachel’s father, Rick, focused all his love and attention to keep Rachel in her courage and positive energy. And most remarkably, she and her mother Linda faced this disease every day together cementing their special bond for always.

May she finally rest in peace.
