Shafner Family , 1992

Edith Cooper Golden was born in 1904 in Ratno, Ukraine, and moved with her family to Denver in 1909. She married Frank Shlomo Golden and had at least one daughter, Evelyn Golden Shafner, who married Sol David Shafner (originally from Philadelphia, PA), owner of Denver's Kiddieland, in 1951. Their daughter, Rhonda Shafner is a reporter for the Denver Post and the wife of Eric Weisberg. Edith and her extended family, including cousin Tommy Cooper, fled to Denver in the early years of the 20th century from the widespread persecution of Jews in Russia and the Ukraine during that time. Frank S. Golden died in 1970 in Denver. No date of passing is available for Edith at this time. Evelyn G. Shafner and Rhonda Shafner are still living (2015).
