SANDRA WEISMAN Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on April 22, 1934. She grew up in Winnipeg's north end, and earned a B.A. in Economics from the University of Manitoba. She married Harvey Weisman, the love of her life, in 1957, and together they had two daughters: Nancy (Sam) and Karen (Arthur). Sandra adored her grandchildren Liad, Aviva and Noah, and she maintained a unique and deep relationship with each one of them. She could laugh with them, share their triumphs, and offer wise counsel whenever needed. She was a loving mother, Baba, wife and friend: a gentle, kind-hearted person who always delighted in the accomplishments and joys of those close to her. Sandra was also brilliant; friends and family regularly sought her advice on everything from literature to world politics. She was a high- ranking player of competitive duplicate bridge, an avid reader, and a music and ballet lover. When her children were older, she taught courses in Bridge and in Life Writing at community centres, and was a popular teacher appreciated for her patience and expertise. She was predeceased by her mother Lillian, her father Leo, and her brother Barry. Sandra spent her final months at the Simkin Centre in Winnipeg, where she was lovingly cared for by the dedicated staff. We are grateful to the many nurses and care workers who enhanced the quality of her life in her final months, especially Marilou, Chunyi, Jennifer, Rosa, Andrea, Brenda and Allana.

I knew Sandra through my Mom. I came to care deeply about Sandra. She was a truly remarkable person. I only today came about her obituary. No one might ever read this. Sandra will know I’ve posted this. May she be dancing across the Heavens. - Posted by: Jil (Friend of my mother ) on: May 08, 2022

Harvey, Nancy, Karen and families. I grew up with all the stories of mom’s friendship with Sandra. She truly cherished every moment they spent together and was so sad to hear the news of Sandra’s death. Sending you hugs and love from all the Dworkin family - Posted by: Rochelle (Shelley) Dworkin (Daughter of Sandra’s dear friend Delsie) on: Dec 22, 2017

I meet Sandra in the Grace when my husband was there. She was a beautiful soul and Harvey was a truly devoted husband to her. He would bring her cherries each day for a treat. I often thought about them when I left as they did have plans to move to Toronto at that time. Her daughter was here trying to make it work out. She always had a smile for you when you talked to her. Rest in Peace Sandra. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Doreen deDenus (a person she meet at Grace Hospital when my husband was in there in June-July ) on: Dec 21, 2017
