SUSAN (SHIRLEY) PELTZ At the age of 91 years, on October 24, 2016, our Aunt Shirley passed away. She was predeceased by her parents, Clara and Joseph Peltz; brother Isadore and sister-in-law Mary. She is survived by nieces, Claire (Terry), Sheryl (Sean); nephews, Arne (Marva) and Harvey (Jo-Anne), as well as their children. Shirley was clearly a "one of a kind" woman who did not suffer fools gladly. Fiercely independent, opinionated, funny, loving and challenging, she headed for the sunny ways of Beverly Hills, CA in the early 1960s. There she bluffed her way into the start of a lifelong career/business as a bookkeeper. She established close relationships during that time and reluctantly returned to Winnipeg in 2005 to be closer to the support of her family, whom she always kept in touch with. Shirley was a passionate reader and a great friend to animals, including her own "Winkie" and any other cat or dog within reach. The family is grateful for the care and companionship of the residents and staff of Sterling House these past 11 years, in particular June and Doreen. Thanks also to medical caregivers, Dr. Glew, Dr. Cavers, Dr. Munsamy and Dr. Young; as well as nurses, Doris, Christine, Matt and others at the Victoria General Hospital 5-South. In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no funeral service.
