Born and raised in Highland Park, NJ, Iris was a proud graduate of Mary Washington College of the University of Virginia and taught second grade at Memorial School in East Brunswick. Iris was a classic “homemaker” of the 60’s and 70’s, serving as a President of the PTA and many other community organizations in North Brunswick, where she raised her family. She later became a full-time substitute teacher at North Brunswick High School, followed by a successful career as a realtor with Coldwell Banker. After moving to West Windsor in 2000, she served as Chairman of the Village Grande Social and Trip Committees.

Friends and family uniformly remember her big smile and sunny disposition She was one of those people that made others feel better for having spent time with her. She loved spending summers down the shore in Beach Haven with her family.

She considered herself wonderfully fortunate for having married a fellow from “the wrong side of the tracks” who “made good” and gave her a wonderful life. Asked years later why she dated a fellow who was “trouble” she replied, “I guess I was looking for trouble!”.

She was predeceased by her parents Michael and Dorothy (Zagoren) Rosenthal and her husband of 43 years, The Hon. Martin S. Goldin. She is survived by her daughter, Tamara Eisenberger of Somerset, NJ; her son Steven and his partner Cynthia Bratman of Princeton Junction, NJ; her former daughter-in-law Evelyn Goldin of Ewing, NJ; her grandson Michael and his wife Jo-Ann, grandchildren Will, Beau, Devon.
