ESTHER (FELDMAN) SEIPP Esther (Feldman) Seipp passed away on Tuesday, January 26, 2016, in Winnipeg, less than two weeks shy of her 102nd birthday. Esther was born February 7, 1914, living in Winnipeg until her marriage to Max Seipp in 1940. They resided in St. Boniface until his passing in 1978 and her moving back to Winnipeg in 2000. Esther had many accomplishments. As a young woman, she received her Toronto Conservatory Piano Teaching Degree. Later on she was an original founding member of the St. Boniface Hospital's Ladies Auxiliary. She was President of the Rebecca Seiff Hadassah-Wizo chapter. No one knitted, did needlepoint and petit point as meticulously as she. Esther had many names - Mom Baba, Babi and Great-Baba; but, most of all, Friend. Her kindness and sense of fairness and respect for all were consistent throughout her life. She loved people and had that love returned by all who were graced with knowing her. Esther saw her share of health challenges in her later years, and yet never complained. When asked, she responded with "I'm just fine, thank you" no matter what the situation was. Her one line wisdoms were life lessons: "You get what you give", in referring to interpersonal relationships. "Every day is a birthday", a reminder to celebrate life daily. Memories of Esther will be treasured by her children, Jacqueline Seipp (Todd), Marilyn Berman (Barry); and grandchildren, Zanna and Mara Seipp-Katz, Lisa (Aaron), Sherri (Randy) and Gina Berman; and great-grandson Mason Kennedy; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Services were held at the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue Thursday, January 28, 2016. Pallbearers were Jacquie Seipp, Mara and Zanna Seipp-Katz, Todd Boyer, Al Katz and Zac Minuk. If so desired, donations may be made to Jewish National Fund. 225-530 Kenaston Blvd., Winnipeg, MB R3N 1Z4 (204-947-0207).
