FREDA ROSNER FINKELSTEIN LEVINE 4 January, 1904 - 3 July, 2006 Dedicated daughter of Priscilla and Samuel Rosner, loving sister of Saidye Bronfman OBE, Leah Monica Amdur and Frances Grossman, devoted wife of Dr. Manly Finkelstein (1898 - 1949) and Moe Levine (1903 - 1978). She will be especially missed by her immediate family, Tom Finkelstein and his wife Pamela Madalena of Comox, BC, Sue and Bernie Pucker of Boston, MA, Roselle Abramowitz of Stowe, VT and Harvey Levine and his partner Louise Trudel of Montreal. She adored and was adored by her grandchildren, Cara Finkelstein, Marcie and Bill Scudder, Joseph and Melanie Abramowitz, Naomi and Michael Cohen, Michael and Gigi Pucker, Ken and Leslie Pucker, Jon and Marcie Pucker. Her great-grandchildren were a great source of joy and focus for her. Daniel, Jeremy and Elana Scudder, Allison Eden and Isaac Abramowitz, Loren and Adam Cohen, Abby Maggie and Jessica Pucker, Oliver Pucker and Hannah and Isabella Pucker will miss having her in their lives - always remembering their birthdays and their special desires. She was a devoted aunt and great aunt to Edgar Bronfman, Charles Bronfman, Phyllis Lambert, Barbara Bronfman and Jean deGunzburg who often travelled from France to visit with her; Jeff Grossman and Nancy Gidwitz, Cynthia Grossman and Nancy Grossman. Freda was loved and honoured by the entire Levine family as represented by Michael and Donna Levine of Toronto, Allan and Suzie Levine of Israel, Ruth and Arthur Penn of Boston. So many around the world counted Freda as a friend and many others adopted her as family because she cared so much about the well-being of so many. The family is eternally grateful to her assistant, Marie-Claire Freeme de Wallens and her loving and attentive caregivers for their attention and support. May she find peace in her passing as she did joy in her living. Funeral service from Paperman Sons, 3888 Jean Talon St. W., Montreal on Tuesday, July 4 at 2:00 p.m. Burial in Montreal.
