Thea Greenberg

Thea Greenberg 11/24/1928-1/31/2024 It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Thea Greenberg, (nee Goldstein) who passed away on January 31, 2024 at the age of 95. Thea's life was a reflection of her devotion to family who respected and adored her. She was a woman of strong values who lived independently on her own terms. Until the end of her life she meticulously managed all aspects of her life from finances to food preparation to regular communication with family and friends. She was an excellent cook who willingly shared her recipes. To the end, when she gave Susan a grocery list it was in the order of isles in the store! Within the last two years she learned to handle a smart phone in order to enjoy pictures, videos and FaceTime with family. Judaism played an important role in her life as she kept a kosher home until she moved into an apartment following Stanley's death. The word that most describes Thea is "practical" from beginning to end. Thea was preceded in death by her devoted husband of 63 years, Stanley Greenberg as well as her beloved daughter Bonnie and grandsons Mikey and Adam El Masri. Also preceded in death by dear sisters Dorothy Nashban and Bernice Greenberg. She is survived by her loving son Gary Greenberg (Susan Esser-Greenberg); her cherished grandchildren Austin Greenberg, Tera Shapiro (Daniel); and Nolan Greenberg (Lauren); as well as dear great-grandchildren Caleb, Ella & Maquel Shapiro and Jaxson Greenberg. Thea's great mind was the silent partner in assisting Stanley with his insurance business. Her strength and resilience was evident as she survived the hardship of suddenly losing her beloved daughter Bonnie and grandsons Mike and Adam in 1991. She led by example as she left a strong legacy for her next generations to follow. Funeral services 1 PM Sunday, February 4, 2024 at Congregation Shalom, 7630 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Fox Point.
