GERTIE LITMAN With deep sorrow we announce the passing of Gertie Litman (nee Greenberg) on Wednesday, October 18, 2000 at Seven Oaks Hospital with her family by her side. Born in Winnipeg on November 25, 1909, she was 90 years old at the time of her death. She will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her son, Leslie and wife, Carol; daughter Pearl Morantz; daughter Judy and husband Jim Diamond of Princeton, N.J.; sister Esther Minkin of Toronto and brother Leon Greenberg of Port Colborne, Ontario; 12 grandchildren, 10 great-grandchildren and her special four legged friend Charlie. She was predeceased by her loving husband Peter in 1993 after 62 years of marriage; her sister Clara Abbey, her brothers Bill Greenberg and Cliff Green; and her grandson Michael Litman. A devoted mother, grandmother, sister and friend, she was caring, generous with her time and always ready to help. It was her pleasure to have her family around her and she especially enjoyed time spent with her grandchildren and more recently, her great-grandchildren. Funeral services were held at BNay Abraham Cemetery on Thursday, October 19. Pallbearers were her six grandsons, Lorry Litman, Jim Litman, Richard Morantz, Martin Morantz, Steven Morantz and Etan Diamond.
