MIRIAM (MICKEY) MARGULIUS It is with great sadness that the family of Miriam (Mickey) Margulius announces her passing on June 18, 2016, at the age of 88. Mickey was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, the daughter of Joe and Rose Shore. She began her life living over her parents' grocery store on McAllman Ave. in East Kildonan. Eventually, she moved to the North End, where she attended St. John's High School. Following high school she was employed by Weidman Bros., where she was introduced to Joseph Margulius, who instantly became the love of her life. They were married soon after, and raised three children, Eileen, Teddy and Alan on McAdam Ave. If our mother was considered a homemaker, then indeed she created a beautiful, loving home that reflected her warmth and kindness. Her immense love and devotion to family was revered by all her knew her. She attended to Joe's every need when he fell ill too early in life. Mom was predeceased by her parents, devoted husband Joe, beloved son, Teddy, brother Ben Shore and sister Helen Meltzer. She is survived by her loving children, Eileen Curtis, Alan (Corinne) Margulius and will be deeply missed by her grandchildren, Jennifer (Deon), Jeff, Chad, Ali, Jordan, and her great- granddaughters, Sophie, Abby, and Emily. Mickey was the backbone of her family. She was an extremely proud mother and Bubbie, whose greatest pleasure in life was being surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A graveside service was held at Shaarey Zedek Cemetery on June 20, where she was accompanied to her final resting place by her grandsons, Jeff Curtis, Chad Margulius, Jordan Margulius, family and friends, Fred Curtis, Rick Nordick and Michael Pinx. Honorary pallbearer was grandson-in-law Deon Lane. Our family wishes to thank the staff at Seven Oaks Hospital for the loving care provided during Mom's stay in hospital. Donations in Mickey's memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
