CLARA ZAMICK
Clara's 92 years were the epitome of unparalleled compassion, consideration, and devotion - a testament to what most strive to attain.
She was predeceased by parents, Thelma (Teibl) and Bill (Beryl) Minuk; siblings, Norman Minuk (Goldie), Molly Lachter (Norman), and Evie Rosenbaum (Jack).
Cherished surviving siblings, Yetta Levit (Jack) and Harry Minuk (Annette), family and friends honour her memory.
Clara now joins her loving husband, Max Zamick, to rest by his side. Not only his partner in marriage, but also in business, they ran their store on St. Matthews Avenue while raising daughters Fern and Sandy. Despite long work hours, Clara was always ready to lend a helping hand and a listening ear.
One year after Max's passing, Fern's (Alex) son, Matthew, was born. Clara instantly became a dear and doting Baba who would do anything for him.
The years we were privileged to spend together brought us much joy. Despite a diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy 11 years ago, Clara defied the odds, living past the expected life span associated with her illness. Even during this time, she remained fiercely proud of her family. We were her shining stars. She was ours.
The family would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to Dr. Wayne Manishen as well as the staff and volunteers at Gwen Secter Creative Living Centre, Shaftesbury Park Retirement Residence, Esther's Group, and The Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre.
Thanks as well to pallbearers Alex Carr, Matthew Carr, Keith Levit, Jeff Minuk, Ben Berkal, Howard Kideckel and to Rabbi Anibal Mass.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Gwen Secter Creative Living Centre or the charity of your choice.
Mom, may you continue to dance
"the skies on laughter-silvered wings".
We love you.
