Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryGLORIA BASS It is with sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Gloria Bass at the age of 100 at the Simkin Centre on Monday, October 19, 2015. Gloria is survived by her son, Don (Darlene); daughter, Lynda; grandchildren, Hartley and Eileen Fortin (Tim); great-grandchildren, Kelsey and Taylor; sister-in-law, Laura Orloff; and many other relatives. Gloria was predeceased by her husband, Abe; her grandson, Jonathon; parents, Anna and Leo Orloff; brother, Arnold and sister, Jean Liber. Gloria was born in Russia on December 30, 1914. She came to Canada with her parents and siblings at a young age, growing up in Elphinstone, Manitoba. She married the love of her life, Abe, with whom she spent 70 wonderful years. Gloria lived most of her life in Fort William, now Thunder Bay, where she and Abe were in business. Gloria and Abe moved to Winnipeg about 25 years ago to be closer to family. Gloria's life was defined by love, kindness and generosity. She has left her mark. The family would like to thank the extremely caring staff at the Simkin Centre, in particular, the staff of the third floor Weinberg unit. Graveside services were held on Wednesday, October 21 at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery. If so desired, donations can be made to the Simkin Centre.

Dear Lynda, Donny, and family. I'm so sorry to hear about Auntie Gloria passing away. I have vivid childhood memories of spending time with her and Uncle Abe when I visited Fort William. Auntie Gloria always made me feel welcomed and loved. Her smile was radiant, her voice was soothing. Whenever I come across a Laura Secord shop, I buy a butterscotch lollipop to remind me of her and all the beautiful little purses -- stuffed with Laura Secord lollipops -- she gave me when I was a kid. Love, Robyn - Posted by: Robyn Levy (neice) on: Oct 24, 2015
