GOLDMAN Dr. Arnold D Goldman (Arnie) was the only
child of Katie and Abraham Goldman born on
September 29th, 1933 and peacefully left us
on January 24th, 2021. He was raised and
educated in Philadelphia, P.A. Dr. Goldman
had a thriving private practice in the South
Jersey Area. Some recognition's of Dr. Gold-
man was when he received the Outstanding
Teacher of the Year Award for Voluntary Fac-
ulty at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical
School in 1997, and election by his col-
leagues to Inclusion in “Top Docs” in Phil-
adelphia Magazine in 2002. In all of his many
activities he always displayed tremendous
spirit and teamwork. His happiest achieve-
ments were his marriage of 63 years to his
wonderful wife Lynn (whom he met on
someone else’s blind date), his forever silent
partner, who worked with him in his practice.
They have a beautiful family of four original
children and four gifted to them by marriage
and ten stellar grandchildren: Audrey (Brian)
and children Brandon (Michelle), Leigh (Bi-
anca), and Scott (Emely); Shari (Keith) and
children Katrina and Bianca; Daniel (Cheryl)
and children Abigail and Tara; and Rachel (Si-
mon) and children Jordan, Phillip, and Chase.
His greatest joy was the family vacations he
took every summer. Dr Goldman, Arnie, Dad,
Zaydah, had the most beautiful blue eyes and
stunning smile which will be greatly missed
by all. We were all fortunate to have known a
man such as him and the world is a better
place for having had Dr. Arnold D Goldman in
it. Contributions in his memory may be made

WENITSKY Phyllis Specter Wenitsky (nee Wasserman),
64, of Blue Bell, PA, passed away on January
26, 2021. She is survived by her husband,
Howard, daughters Jennifer (Jon Smith),
Samantha and Erica; her grandson Jordan;
mother Dorothy (Dottie); siblings Bobbi
Wasserman (Harry Koplin), Ted Wasserman
(Marcia Lyons) and James Wasserman; and
nieces and nephews. Phyllis was born in Phil-
adelphia to Leonard and Dorothy Wasser-
man on September 14, 1956. When her late
husband John passed away, she proceeded
with immense courage and love, determined
to build a beautiful life for her daughter Jen-
nifer. She found love and built a family with
Howard Wenitsky, who had also lost his
spouse. Howard, and his daughters Sam-
antha and Erica, joined Phyllis and Jen and
together created a household filled with
laughter, love and joy. She embodied values
inherited from her parents: decency, selfless-
ness, resolve in adversity, goodness and un-
questionable love of her family and friends.
From the moment they said "I do" 22 years
ago, she and Howard set an example of what
a strong marriage looks like, rooted in uncon-
ditional love, partnership, friendship, appreci-
ation for one another's uniqueness and mu-
tual respect. Phyllis had all the hallmarks of a
perfect Jewish mother. She had an ability to
“hear” the words written on the hearts of her
children, even when unspoken. She always
made sure everyone was fed, well-dressed
and happy. She wrote handwritten notes in
her elegant cursive script, filled with heartfelt
gratitude and thoughtfulness. Phyllis taught
her girls to be self-sufficient, self-assured
and most importantly, kind. Contributions in
her memory may be made to The National
Museum of American Jewish History,
