MARSHA SCHWARTZMAN
She leaves to mourn, her husband of 50 years, Sid, her devoted children, Lisa and Neil (Gina), and grandsons, Noah and Eli, plus her many friends.
Marsha was blessed with an engaging personality and she exuded spirit, joy, loyalty and honesty. She had wonderful skills in the kitchen and her dinner parties are legendary. She enjoyed playing bridge with her bridge group and also made time to volunteer at CancerCare. Marsha was born in Thunder Bay and upon graduation from high school, went to Toronto to earn her teacher's certificate. She then moved to Winnipeg where she taught school in the St. James school division. At this point, she met Sid and after a whirlwind courtship, they married. Marsha continued to teach until her children came along, at which time she became a full time mother. When the children were in school, she went to Holt Renfrew where she sold La Prairie products. Marsha was lured away to become catering manager at Rosh Pina Synagogue. When her mother became ill, Marsha retired to look after her. Marsha will be long remembered by all who knew her.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marsha Schwartzman Endowment Fund at the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba.

Dear Sid, Lisa and Neil my deepest condolences for your loss. Although it’s been years since our time together, I have many fond memories putting Marsha through her workouts during her training sessions. She lit up whenever she talked about her family.
