At sixteen, she moved to Winnipeg to attend The Collegiate, and later worked at the Manitoba Legislative Buildings. One of her proudest accomplishments was working for the Canadian Shaarey Zedek Hospital Foundation. On June 24, 1951 Freda Naomi and Manuel were married at the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue. Their love and commitment towards each other continued throughout their lives. Her wish was to grow old together . They enjoyed travelling, spending summers at Falcon Lake, attending the Manitoba Theatre Centre, the Winnipeg Symphony Pops concerts, and jazz concerts, especially, Diana Krall. In 2008, both Freda Naomi and Manuel moved to the third floor of the Weinberg Building at the Simkin Centre. We wish to express our eternal gratitude to Dr. A. Pacin, the nurses, health care attendants, and staff for their exceptional dedication, knowledge, and determination to offer the highest standard of treatment and care. Their compassion, expertise and devotion to our Mother has altered and enriched the course of our lives forever. She too, was also incredibly grateful. Funeral service was held on Monday, February 13, 2012 at the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue. Pallbearers were Paul Cantor, Daniel Cantor, Jared Cantor, Evan Cantor, Jeff Morry, Allan Levine and John Myers. If so desired, donations can be made in Freda Naomi's memory to the Simkin Centre at (204) 589-9014. No words can say how much we will miss your beautiful smile. You are in our hearts.
