Eve Goodman Obituary

Eve Goodman
On February 3,2026, Eve Goodman passed away at the age of 71, after having a heart attack. She was born on August 2, 1954, and was raised by her parents, Walter and Vera Obermeyer in Lucas Valley, California.
Eve was a gifted artist. She was a sculptor, charcoal drawer and ceramicist. Eve created art throughout her lifetime, while living in Lucas Valley, San Francisco and New York City.
After graduating from Terra Linda High School, Eve lived on Kibbutz Palmach Tzuba, located near Jerusalem, Israel. Eve loved living on the kibbutz, being immersed in a farming community with welcoming, warm and caring members. A few years later, Eve moved to San Francisco and later graduated from New College. She then worked with disabled individuals at Golden Gate Regional Center. Eve later graduated from Notre Dame de Namur University, soon after founding Spring Meadow Preschool in San Francisco. Eve had tremendous patience and compassion for people, especially for children and vulnerable individuals.
Eve married Paul Goodman, and they raised their son, David. She was a remarkably devoted, giving and loving mother, parenting with the wisdom to understand who her child was, and to support his authentic self. Eve was very insightful about people. After living in San Francisco for 40 years, Eve moved to New York City to be closer to her son, David. Eve helped her son design accessories for his staging company.
Eve was a kind, caring and loving sister and daughter. Eve helped her father, Walter Obermeyer, write a book memorializing his escape at the age of 14 from Nazi Germany in 1937. Eve helped her parents, supporting them through their aging process. After visiting their parents, she and her younger sister enjoyed European chocolate together.
Eve is survived by her son, David Goodman, her brother Bob Obermeyer (wife Susan), her sister Sarai Obermeyer (husband Kory), niece Annie Obermeyer, niece Amy Kelly (and Tom), niece Tori Bendix (husband Clint), nephew Jeff Obermeyer (wife Mirian), grandnieces (Livana, June and Sofia) and grandnephews (Robert, William, Micah and Asher.)
We celebrate Eve who was a woman of integrity who had a good soul and a kind heart. She will be dearly missed, remaining always in our hearts.
