Jodi R. Friedman, nee Rubenstein, age 67, of Buffalo Grove, she grew up in a beautiful and nurturing home in Skokie and attended Niles North High School. Jodi was a devoted daughter of the late Seymour and the late Rachel Rubenstein; loving sister of Cheryl (David) Auerbach; adored aunt of Sam and Shelby Auerbach; treasured friend of many. Jodi was a loving, caring, good-hearted, and extraordinary daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She was a confidant to countless individuals. Jodi had cherished lifelong friendships that transcended time and distance, but she also had more recent friendships too. Jodi's true "happy place" was at the beach and following most sports, especially her beloved Cubbies and hearing the words, "Cubs Win!". Jodi was loved by all and she will be dearly missed.
Private graveside service will be Monday, July 7th. The family will be receiving condolences at Max and Benny's Restaurant, 461 Waukegan Road, Northbrook on Monday from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Cancer Wellness Center, www.cancerwellness.org.

We connected after Ira´s passing, but lost touch through my many moves; you were sweet, kind, and supportive and I will never forget it - your friends are special just like you - may all of their memories hold peace and love in their hearts

So sad about the loss of your dear Jodi. We met when we were assigned to be roommates on a Jewish singles cruise 20 years ago and she made me laugh from the get go. We kept in touch for several years but time drifted us apart. May her memory be for a blessing.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jodi was my friend since 7th grade. I will miss her laugh, her texts of "cubs win" after games and so much more. She was a cherished friend! My heart is broken! I will miss her everyday, but will cherish the memories we shared. RIP my friend! I love you. My deep condolences to your family at this terribly difficult time!
