ETTIE ACKMAN It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother, Ettie Ackman, after a brief illness, on Sunday, April 12, 2015. Ettie is survived by her sons Nolan (Karen), Howard (Sheryl), Jeff and Darrell, along with grandchildren Jessica, Joshua, Michael and Mathew Ackman. She was predeceased by her husband Sol, parents Toby and Louis Furer, along with brother Harry Furer, and sister Sarah Green. She also leaves behind brother Morley Furer and sister Shirley Geller, nieces and a nephew. Ettie had a great love for her family and there was nothing she would not do for them. She also loved her chosen profession of teaching. She got her first job as a 17 year old kindergarten teacher at I.L. Peretz School. She also taught at Shalom Alechem School, before operating her own kindergarten in the basement of her Garden City home. She then taught for over 30 years in the Winnipeg School Division, while also obtaining her B.A. and Bachelor of Education degrees. She also loved music and playing the piano. Her holiday concerts were enjoyed by both students and parents. She loved to dance and celebrate family simchas. A graveside funeral service will be held 10:45 a.m., Tuesday, April 14 at the Bnay Abraham Cemetery. WE WILL NEVER FORGET HER!

I was a student of hers at Ralph Brown School in 1976-77 , she was my first teacher since I didnt go to nursary School. Our class and Mrs. Isler's class used to get together often. Mrs Ackman's gentle smile was amazing , she was so good to all of us. I can still see getting in line in class and sitting on the carpet, the paint section, the doll house. I was so shy, but she helped me a lot in talking and interacting with other kids. I still have pictures, drawings, and photos of the class to this day.....Deepest sympathy to the whole family. - Posted by: Daniela Di Marco (Former Kindergarden Student at Ralph Brown) on: Aug 22, 2017
