(Editor’s Note: Jame Goldstein, wife of State Chairman Sam Goldstein, passed away Saturday after a long battle with breast cancer. Jame was a long time Libertarian activist, candidate and loved member of our Libertarian Party family. Please support her favorite charity in an effort to ensure that other loving mothers and wives are not taken too soon: The Weekend to End Breast Cancer benefiting St. Vincent Foundation.)
Jame Stuart Goldstein was born in Oakland, CA on October 20, 1957, the second daughter of Commander Charles Harnden (U.S. N. Ret.) and Loraine Harnden. As a Navy brat she grew up in Albuquerqe, New Mexico, Corpus Christi, Texas, Sunnyvale and Alameda California, Atsugi, Japan and Memphis, Tennessee.
Jame moved to Indianapolis in her early 20s and helped manage her parent’s fitness center for several years before deciding to attend Indiana University School of Nursing where she graduated with Highest Honors. While a staff nurse at Methodist Hospital, Jame decided to further her education at the Indiana University School of Law and graduated Cum Laude. She practiced law as an attorney at Caplin, Park, Tousley and McCoy for over 16 years even during her first bout with breast cancer in 1997. She began feeling ill again in early 2005 and received the horrible news that her cancer had returned and was now metastatic.
Following her initial treatments for metastatic breast cancer she felt well enough to open her own law office which she was able to maintain for several years until the fall of 2009. She was a meticulous and caring advocate for her Social Security Disability clients.
