- History / Biographical
- Goldie Roberts immigrated to Canada in 1924 with her husband Morris and their three daughters, Molly, Celia and Eileen (m. Arthur Soloman) after Morris served in the Russian Army in World War I. The family settled first in Chatham, Ontario, and later moved to Ottawa in 1928. Morris died suddenly in 1938 leaving Goldie with three children to raise. She made use of her talents and worked as a seamstress and dressmaker for the rest of her career. During World War II, Goldie Roberts made an important contribution to both the Jewish and non-Jewish servicemen of Ottawa. “She carried on throughout the war years, soliciting, packing, shipping, working night after night until 12:00 or 1:00a.m., only to make certain that a steady flow of cigarettes, comfort parcels, and relief parcels were sent”. She also sent hundreds of parcels to the concentration camps and after the war ended turned her attention to local post-war activities which included the caring of the soldiers’ graves and the sale of poppies for Remembrance Day. Over the years Mrs. Roberts received recognition for her wartime efforts. Returning servicemen, Ottawa B’nai B’rith, Ottawa Hadassah and the Ottawa Branch of the Canadian Legion all paid tribute to her years of volunteer service. Goldie Roberts died November 7, 1973.
