She was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Anne Klasser and her brother Harvey Klasser. Born in Winnipeg in 1930, she married Sam on September 23, 1951.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband Sam, her children Pam (Allan) Appel, Terry (David) Katz; her grandchildren Jackie (Matthew) Swirsky, Josh Appel (girlfriend Jaimee), Robyn (Jason) Eckel, Lindsay (Seth) Francis; and great-grandchildren Chloe, Carter, Dylan, Jacob, Samantha, Avery, Zev, Mackenzie, and Taylor. She embraced strong core values of generosity, fairness, loyalty and kindness. She made life-long friends wherever she lived and visited. She was the heart of our family. Like an artisan she knit all of us together with hands that cared and loved each of us so much. She and Sam were soul mates. For 61 years they were partners at work and play. They complemented each other perfectly. To so many, she was sunshine, exuding warmth in her demeanor and her embrace. She was a beacon of light - attracting all who knew her and was beautiful both inside and out. Her sudden death is a tragic loss and she will forever be missed though not forgotten. Her legacy lives on through all of us. Funeral was held at Shaarey Zedek Synagogue on Wednesday, October 17, 2012, Donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
