Golda Krolik belonged to the
generation of community giants,
especially in the socially-
indoctrinated cultural sense.
From cub reporter to women's
editor of the University of Michi-
gan Daily, from volunteering and
professional involvements in
major causes to earning the high-
est recognition as a Fred M. But-
zel Award recipient of the Jewish
Welfare Federation — these are
among the high marks that gave
leadership roles to Golda Krolik,
who died last Saturday at the age
of 92.
Surviving are her sons, David
B. Mayer, John L. Mayer, and
Henry A. Krolik; her daughter,
Mrs. Arthur Schneider; and ten
grandchildren.
In his eulogy at funeral services

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of
Her first contact with organized
philanthropy occurred when she
and the other members of the
Cheerful Volunteers (Fresers), all
age 10, were permitted to play
with (not feed or lift) the children
in the free nursery which her
father had established in the
Hannah Schloss Building.
Three times she entered and
dropped out of the University of
Michigan due to illness in her
home. During one of these stays
she became the first woman re-
porter for the Michigan Daily.
During World War I she worked
for the Family Service Division of
the American Red Cross as well as
earning money to purchase a war
bond by being the society editor of
the Detroit Jewish Chronicle.
Following the war, the United
Jewish Charities established a
free clinic in the Hannah Schloss
Building. She worked for it and
followed it to the Wineman-
donated building at Oakland and
Holbrook, known as the North
End Clinic.
During the same period she was
a Sunday school teacher at Tem-
ple Beth El where she met and in
1923 married Leopold Mayer.

A Message Of Love
Like the never ending changing of the seasons and the never
ending shifting of the desert sands there is also the never ending
love that a daughter has for her mother. So it is now at this time of
the year that our thoughts go once again to our mother who is not
with us in body but who even in death is never really far apart from
us. She is part of us in our thoughts, heart and soul. She leaves to us
a legacy of love, strength, and courage. The courage to go on
without her. The love that she instilled in us for our husbands and
children. The strength to go on without her and her never ending
wisdom. The courage to face each day and know that there will
never be a phone call, never a voice to answer our questions or to
say I love you as only a mother can say. So to you our mother, Anne
F. Barron, who would have been 65 on May 22, 1985, we honor you
with this our legacy of love.
From your daughters Sandy and Arleen and your loving
grandchildren Charles, Allyson, Gershon, Melissa and David.

three children — David, John and
Judith.
In the 1920s she was vice
president of the Jewish Women's
Clubs (now National Council of
Jewish Women). The council
taught English to new immig-
rants and Golda was one of the
teachers.
Commencing in 1931, following
the death of her husband, she be-
came publicity director of the De-
iroit Community Fund during its
fall campaign and occupied a
similar position for the spring
campaign of the United Jewish
Charities.
In 1936 she married Julian H.
Krolik, father of Henry Krolik.
Throughout those years of the lat-
ter 30s she joined the rest of the
community in the attempt to re-
scue European Jewry. She and
her husband managed through
lengthy struggles with the State
Department to bring to Detroit 21
of their European relatives. She
followed Fred M. Butzel as
president of the Resettlement
Service.
During World War II she
headed the Jewish Welfare
Board's hostess unit at the USO.
They initiated the policy of com-
pletely staffing the USO with
Jewish women on the major
Christian holidays to let the
others enjoy the day in their
homes.
In 1943, following the major
race riot of that year, Mayor Ed-
ward J. Jeffries, deciding that
there should be a Jew and a
woman on his newly-appointed

pointed Mrs. Krolik. She served
continuously under five mayors
until retiring in 1968.
When the Shapero School of
Practical Nursing at Sinai Hopsi-
tal opened, Golda did initial in-
terviewing of candidates for train-
ing. She became the second
president of the school.
She was among the original
group organizing the Detroit
Jewish Welfare Federation's
Women's Division. She had been a
worker and contributor in the
campaigns of liberal Democratic
candidates.
Over the years, Mrs. Krolik re-
ceived a number of honors. For 10
years she was a member of the
local NAACP board, later becom-
ing an honorary director. She also
received the Amity Award from
the Women's Division of Ameri-
can Jewish Congress and the
Pioneer Award of B'nai B'rith
Women.
Both the Workmen's Circle and
the American Jewish Committee
gave her their annual awards for
public service. St. Cyprian's Epis-
copal Church honored her for her
work with volunteers of all races
and colors.
She worked for the Red Cross
Blood Bank and was a staff
member of the Red Cross Home
Service and Women's Hospital
Social Service Department.
Her other communal achieve-
ments included membership on
the advisory council of Federa-
tion's Women's Division and Re-
settlement Service and Sinai
Hospital-Shiffman Clinic boards.
She was president of the Reset-
tlement Service.
Mrs. Krolik was the chairman
of the Jewish Community Coun-
cil's Urban Affairs Committee
from 1967 to 1969 and served on
the boards of the Jewish Family
Service, Detroit Service Group
and Hadassah.
In earlier years, she was the
chairman of the Penny Lunch
Volunteers and a volunteer
teacher for German refugees.
Other organizations which
benefitted from her involvement
were the Women's Committee of
United Community Services, .
United Service Organization
Volunteers, Curative Workshop
and Visiting Nurses Association.

teer at Henry Ford Hospital for 45

Montreal, but lived 67 years in
Detroit. She was formerly a clerk

ice.
Since 1940, she began volun-
teer work at Ford Hospital, giving

and continued that role through
this year. The hospital honored

rected, as well as composed songs
to many of the top Broadway mus-
icals of the time.
