GOLDIE EPSTEIN It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Goldie Epstein, on October 24, 2004, at the Sharon Home after a lengthy illness. She is survived by her daughter Barbara, son Bob and wife Jan, grandchildren Jason, Shelly and husband Kevin, and April. Goldie came to Canada from Poland as a young girl with her siblings. Ultimately, she met and married her husband Sol and together they operated a retail store in Selkirk, until Sols retirement and passing in 1974. Goldie and her brother Joe became inseparable after his wife Bluma passed away. After Joes passing in 1994, shortly thereafter Goldie moved to the Sharon Home until her death. Goldie was a loving mother, wife, baba, aunty and sister. Her family was her life and her Jewish traditions stayed with her to the end. Her family, no matter what, could do no wrong. We will miss, love and cherish her memory forever. The funeral was held at the Chesed Shel Emes with interment at the BNai Abraham cemetery on October 26, 2004. Pallbearers were Jason Epstein, Sonny Olasker, Kevin Hines, Morley Vinsky, David Polsky and Howard Raber. The family would like to thank the nurses, Sandy and Charlene and especially Hanna Cohen, who was her constant companion for the level of care provided to Goldie. Donations may be made in Goldies memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
