“It is with sorrow that we announce the passing of Kaye Goldsmith Ullman on July 23, 2025, at
the age of 93. While our hearts are broken, we find comfort in the beautiful memories and
lasting legacy she leaves behind. Kaye was born in Philadelphia. Kaye lived at the Highlands at
Wyomissing for 12 years and was a loving wife to her husband, M. Robert (Cookie) Ullman for
73 years. Kaye was always proud of the fact that her ancestors immigrated to this country in
1835 from Bavaria, Germany and settled in Quincy, Illinois and Wheeling, West Virginia. She
attended Millersville University and met Cookie at a fraternity party at Franklin and Marshall
College. On January 28, 1951, she married the love of her life, Cookie. In September of 1951,
Kaye opened the first preschool program at the Jewish Community Center on North Fifth Street
in Reading. In June of 1952, she gave birth to her only child, Stuart Ullman, who lives in
Sarasota, Florida. Kaye was very active in many community programs and was on the Board of
the Reform Congregation Oheb Sholom Synagogue. In 1980, Kaye owned and managed a
children’s clothing store at the Narrow Fabric Building at Vanity Fair. Kaye and Cookie traveled
extensively throughout the world and every continent. Kaye is survived by her son, Stuart
Ullman, daughter-in-law, Sally Ullman, granddaughter, Tara Ullman McCaffery, great-grandchild
Kalib McCaffery, great-grandchild Jacob Robert McCaffery, and grandson, Alexander Jay
Ullman, Ph.D. Alex is an Assistant Professor at Washington University in Saint Louis, Missouri

service will be held to celebrate Kaye’s life at Reform Congregation Oheb Sholom Synagogue at
555 Warwick Drive, Wyomissing. Pennsylvania, at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. We will
all miss Kaye and her beautiful smile.” Henninger Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
