Edythe (Eddye) Katz Goodman, born May 30, 1908 in Brooklyn, New York, died May 22, 2000, while residing at Manzano Del Sol in Albuquerque. She was preceded in death by her parents, Fannie and Samuel Katz and her husband of 41 years, Irving (Goody) Leon Goodman. She is survived by her sister, Sarah Kibrig of Los Angeles, CA; her brothers, David Kates of St. Petersburg, FL, Elias Katz of Berkeley, CA and Saul Katz of Los Angeles, CA; her daughter, Marcia Goodman Landau of Albuquerque; her grandchildren, Michelle Landau Stapp of Albuquerque and Neil Frederick Landau of Brooklyn, NY; her great-grandchild, Alex Ehlowin Stapp of Albuquerque; and many loving nieces and nephews. She expressed a deep affection for her son-in-law, Dr. David Landau and her devoted companion, Glenda Barnett. Eddye grew up in New York City, completing her schooling there. She earned her Bachelor's degree from City College of New York in 1933. She worked for various agencies of the state and was employed by the Bronx County Court for 40 years. The last 15 of these years, she spent as the Court Clerk of the Surrogates Court in the Bronx. She retired in 1970 and moved with her husband to a new retirement community in St. Petersburg, Florida. After her husband's death in 1974, she remained in St. Petersburg until 1999 when she moved to Albuquerque where her daughter resides. Eddye was a bright, loquacious woman with a fascination for stocks and the stock market. She also took great delight in making and collecting costume jewelry. She was kind, generous, and gentle. Her gracious warmth extended to her family and her friends both old and new. Her soft, loving ways still will be missed by those she touched. A Memorial service will be held at Nahalat Shalom Congregation, L Building, 3606 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Thursday, May 25, at 7:30 p.m. Eddye's deep and abiding concern for social injustice made the ACLU her favorite charity. In lieu of flowers, all friends are invited to make memorial contributions to the New Mexico American Civil Liberties Union. Cremation arrangements by Sunrise Society of NM, Ph 891-8200.
