SHEILA KROLIK On Monday, June 25, 2001 after a lengthy illness, Sheila Krolik passed away peacefully at the age of 83 in the Sharon Home, surrounded by her loving children. Sheila Teskey was born in Bessarabia and immigrated to Winnipeg as a young child. She is predeceased by Albert, her husband of 47 years, who passed away in 1985. Albert and Sheila moved to Saskatoon from Winnipeg in 1938 and established a successful retail ladies wear and fur business. Sheila and Albert were active participants in both the business and Jewish communities of Saskatoon. Sheila worked alongside Albert in the store and was beloved by staff and customers for her warm and vibrant personality and her wonderful way with people. She was respected and loved by all who came in contact with her. Sheila was a devoted and loving mother and grandmother who was enormously proud and supportive of her family. She was a person who everyone loved - a woman who gave generously of her time and energy to maintain the continuity of Jewish traditions both within her family and within the community. Indeed, Sheilas hospitality was legendary. She opened her home to countless visiting dignitaries, friends, and business associates, and took great pleasure in making them feel welcome. Sheila is survived by her children, Donna Hollenberg-Rubin, Beverley Aronovitch, Dorothy Stern, and Jeffrey Krolik. She will be greatly missed by her eight grandchildren, Ilana Hollenberg, David Hollenberg, Joshua Aronovitch, Judith Aronovitch, Daniel Stern, Andrew Stern, Aaron Krolik, and Jonah Krolik. The family would like to thank her devoted caregivers and the caring staff of the Sharon Home. The funeral service was held at the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue in Winnipeg at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 27. In lieu of flowers, friends may make donations in her memory to the Albert and Sheila Krolik Fund of the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, 123 Doncaster St., Winnipeg, MB, R3N 2B2.
