BESSIE MASLOVSKY It is with great sorrow that the family announces the passing of Bessie Maslovsky after a brief but courageous battle with cancer on November 28, at the St. Boniface Hospital. She was happy to have been comforted and surrounded by her children and grandchildren during this recent illness. She will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her family, daughters Myrna (Barney Charach) Miriam (Preston Segal) son Joel (Carol) grandchildren Mimi (Ken Franco), Michael (Marla) Segal, Stephen (Mara) Segal; Charles Segal, Avi, Marshall and Daniel Maslovsky; great granddaughters, Cari, Julia and Ashley, along with many cherished nieces and nephews. Her husband Sam predeceased Bessie in 1995. Bessie was born on October 7, 1910 in Russia and came to Canada in 1912. Mom spent most of her life living and working on the family farm near Birds Hill. In addition, she enjoyed a 20 year career with the Jewish National Fund and was a life time member of Hadassah-Wizo and a founding member of the Lorne Hill Ladies Club. Her sense of community and family unity deeply touched everyone who knew her. Thank you to the staff and residents of The Waverley for their friendship, care and concern during Bessies time living with them. Heartfelt thanks to the staff of the St. Boniface Hospital, especially Dr. D. Duerksen and nurses Kim Z., Audrey P., Helena G. and Genevieve V. of ward 5B for the professional, compassionate and dignified care provided during her brief stay. Rabbi Green and Rabbi Berkal conducted funeral services on November 29 followed by internment at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery. Pallbearers were her beloved grandsons. Shiva (Visitation of Condolence) will be at 638 Brock Street up to and including Monday evening December 4. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice.
