ANNE KAHANOVITCH It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our mother and Bobbi, Anne Kahanovitch (nee Werger) on July 3, 2004. Anne was predeceased by her husband Harry; her parents, Morris and Lily Werger; and her sister Elvie Blum. Anne will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Rochelle Kahanovitch; son and daughter-in-law, Israel and Bonny; grandchildren, Dalit and Gary Dolovich, Yael and Brent Sasley, Shoshana Kahanovitch; great-grandchildren, Noam Dolovich and Arielle Sasley; sister Molly Grossman; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Anne was born in Toronto, April 16, 1914, living there many years before moving to Winnipeg to marry Harry. She was active in Bnai Brith, Hadassah Wizo, National Council of Jewish Women, the Jewish Historical Society, the Talmud Torah and was a longtime member of the Herzlia Synagogue. Anne and her sisters ran a successful art gallery, Gallerie Fore, for 10 years. Anne and Harry enjoyed entertaining at home with their many friends. They loved travelling, bowling and walking together. Anne had many interests, but she especially enjoyed playing bridge and mah-jong. Mom always gave of herself, in many ways to help others. She was kind, caring and very passionate about life. Family was extremely important to her. Mom always spoke her mind, giving advice to all. She had an exceptional sense of humour. Moms greatest joy were her granddaughters and great-grandchildren. Graveside services were held Sunday, July 4 at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery, with Rabbi Tzvi Muller and Cantor Gerry Daien officiating. Pallbearers were Gary Dolovich, Brent Sasley, Brian Burke, Cliff Levi, Sam Nimchonok and Jeff Hyman. Mom will be sorely missed by her family and many friends. She was a very special lady. Shiva is being held at 586 Oat St. If so desired, donations in Annes memory may be made to the charity of your choice.
