June (Saftel) Goldman

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of June Saftel Goldman, born June 18, 1930 in Newton, MA to Arthur and Rose Saftel. June was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother, who peacefully passed away on April 13, 2025, in Swampscott, Ma at the age of 94.

June is predeceased by her husband, Robert S. Goldman. June is survived by her sister, Marillyn Wolfman of Brookline, MA, her son, James D. Goldman of Weston, FL, her granddaughter, Natalie J. Ferrell of Tucson, AZ, her grandson, Alexander Y. Goldman of Marblehead, MA, her great granddaughter, Madison J. Ferrell and numerous nieces and nephews.

June lived in Marblehead, MA and Palm Beach, FL. She graduated from the first class at Brandeis University and received her Master’s degree in education from Salem State College. June was an elementary school teacher in the city of Lynn, MA for over 30 years.

June enjoyed traveling the globe, entertaining, collecting antiques, fine dining, but most of all she cherished being surrounded by her family and friends. Her true passion in life was cooking, especially holiday dinners for the entire family. ‘Nanny’s’ home was always an island of tranquility in a sea of chaos.
