LOUISE MAY SEGAL (nee FOX) With great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Louise Segal on Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at the age of 85. Louise was predeceased by her beloved husband of 57 years, Sam Segal, in 1998. She was also predeceased by her parents, four sisters and six brothers. Louise will be lovingly remembered by her children, Dolly (Ernie) Chisick, Elaine (Paul) Olin, Brian Segal, Barney Segal; grandchildren Shannon (Larry) Harman, Sean Chisick, Jason Olin, Brenlee (David) Selchen, Marshal Olin, Daniel Olin, Jared Segal; her great grandchildren Charlie Harman and Hayley Samantha Selchen; many nieces, nephews and friends; in particular her friend of over 60 years, Madge Hanson. Louise was born on May 18, 1921 in Kamsack, SK, married Sam in 1941 and after the Second World War they settled in Winnipeg. In the family home on Lansdowne Avenue her positive caring approach to life laid the foundation for a home filled with warmth, love and laughter. Caring for her family was a labour of love. Louise's energy was endless. Her baking, cooking, sewing and gardening were unsurpassed and cherished by family and friends. Mom instilled in her children a strong work ethic and the value of an education. Her zest for life meant living each day to it's fullest, enriching each day with her sense of humour. During her life, Louise was active in various charitable organizations including Pioneer Women. Her generosity, time and energy were extended to those in need. Her greatest pleasures were her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Baba's gifts of unconditional love, goodness and compassion are memories her grandchildren will carry in their hearts forever. Mom, Baba, Great Baba: you will always be loved, remembered and missed. A graveside service was held on Friday, June 9, at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery, officiated by Rabbi Alan Green and Cantor Anibal Mass. Pallbearers were Jason Olin, Daniel Olin, David Selchen, Sean Chisick, Jim Cook and Barney Segal. Honorary pallbearers were Jarred Segal, Marshal Olin, Larry Harman, Garnet Fox, Leroy Fox, Charles Shore, Barbara Katz, Carol Cook and Ben Katz. In memory of Louise, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
