LUCILLE BRICKER On April 23, 2007, Lucy Bricker passed away peacefully in her sleep. Lucy was predeceased by her parents, Morris and Teibel Binder; brother Monty, and husband Irving Bricker. She leaves to mourn her children, Martin (Debby) Bricker and Marilyn (Michael) Perl, and her grandchildren, Eytan and Aviya Perl, David and Ivy Bricker. Lucy is also survived by her sister-in-law Margie Binder, and her family. Lucy was born in Rovno, Poland and immigrated with her parents to Canada at a very young age. Lucy was raised in a family devoted to their Judaism. Blessed with a beautiful voice, she was a soloist in many community choirs and at weddings. In 1948, she met the love of her life, Irving Bricker, a Holocaust survivor. Together they started their labour of love', Winnipeg Drapery, a business they developed through their hard work and determination. Known for her flaming red hair, impeccable style and attention to detail, Lucy truly put her unique stamp on Winnipeg Drapery. The business flourished and is currently run today by their children. Lucy was a very happy, outgoing and friendly individual known for her pleasant nature and smile. She faced life's path with her ever-present smile and made the best of everything. After Irving's passing, at a young age, her children and grandchildren became the focus of her life. The family would like to thank Mamaleh's' caregivers: Esther, Emma, Procela, Aida, Juanita, Yolita and Anna for the great love and care they gave to our mother. Thank you to Dr. John Mayba and his staff for the many years of expert care. Special thanks to Lynne Fineman for her guidance and expertise. The family would also like to thank the Sharon Home, Kanee Centre, Staff for taking exceptional care of our mother for her last six months.
