Vicki Golden Obituary
Vicki Lynn (Kronfield) Golden, 75, passed away peacefully on August 9, 2024, in her Montville, NJ, home after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Toledo, OH, on October 15, 1948, Vicki graduated from DeVilbiss High School and attended the University of Toledo. She married Richard Beerman and had three children: Richard Jr., Timothy, and Angela.
Vicki was a talented artist and entrepreneur, owning an art gallery and custom framing business in Westfield, NJ. She later became a flight attendant for Continental Airlines, retiring after over 20 years of service. She enjoyed extensive international travel with her second husband, Jack Golden.
Vicki earned her BS degree magna cum laude from Upsala College in 1994. She and Jack shared a love of golf and Florida, where they had a home. A devoted daughter, Vicki cared for her mother Josephine after her father Herbert's passing.
Vicki will be deeply missed by her surviving family: brother, Paul Kronfield and sister, Patricia Moseley; sons, Richard and Timothy; stepchildren, John and Susan; granddaughter, Natalie; and grandsons, Ethan, Reid, and Rhedding. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Angela; stepson, Kevin; and husband, Jack.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10:00am on October 12, 2024, at St. Mary's Church in Denville, NJ. Interment will immediately follow at Denville Cemetery. Friends and relatives are welcome to attend in person or virtually.

I graduated with Vicki. She and I sat together in a number of classes. She was very nice, friendly and always a friend. She is now another Angel in the sky we see in the stars at night. Rest in peace as you were special.

Here are photos of Vicki and her grandmother on Easter in 1955. And a photo of Vicki and Jack on their wedding day in New Jersey. As Vicki's brother, I feel a great empty spot with Vicki gone and miss her very much. She suffered bravely with her cancer and now rests in the loving arms of the Lord.

I graduated with Vicki from DeVilbiss High School in 1966. She was always friendly and had a smile that would light the room. May she rest in peace and in the comfort of angels.
