Fran Golden, 76, passed away on Aug. 16, 2023. Born in Cleveland, Ohio to Morris and Celia Feldman, Fran graduated from Cleveland Heights High School in 1965. She matriculated to The Ohio State University where she majored in physical education and minored in dance. Fran graduated from OSU in 1969 and began working in the Columbus Public Schools. She taught physical education for a few years at the junior high school level before beginning to raise a family. She later taught physical education at Columbus Torah Academy.

In the fall of 1966, Fran met Ron Golden at Ohio State. They became engaged in 1967 and got married in 1968. They celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary this month.

Fran, an avid sports fan and entrepreneur, started her own aerobic dance program with hundreds of students at the adult level. She was “ahead of her time” with her programming. After several years of incorporating her athletic prowess and business skill, she started into another endeavor, namely, Party People Invitations. This business venture allowed Fran to work with families who were celebrating a variety of occasions utilizing Fran’s personal skills and charm.

A member of Beth Jacob Congregation since 1968, Fran has served on the Board of Trustees for several decades. In 2006, Fran was the recipient of the Keser Shem Tov Award (the Crown of a Good Name) presented at the synagogue’s annual testimonial dinner.

A lady of many talents and class, Fran is survived by her husband of 55 years, Ron, along with sons Eric (Leslie) and Steve (Staci) and grandchildren Jackson, Samantha and Griffin. Fran also is survived by

her sister Linda (Mike) Marlin and her brother-in-law, Farrel (Kim) Golden; nieces and nephews Eva and Ben Golden, and Evan and Jennifer Benjamin, along with many other family members and friends..

Funeral services were held on Thursday, Aug. 17 at Epstein Memorial Chapel with Interment at New Beth Jacob Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Beth Jacob Congregation (www.bjcolumbus.org)

So sorry to hear of Fran's passing.  I remember her fantastic athletic abilities in school ,  and her continued ability to help others gain healthy lives with her classes.  She was appreciated for all her good deeds in the Jewish community. She will be missed.

There are very few people I remember I guess I was always on the outside, but I really wish I had known her. BDHaEmet
