Daisy was very involved in the Jewish community of Portage la Prairie and the local Haddassah chapter. She always conducted herself with humility and dignity which endeared her to all who knew her. Despite her multitude of ailments, she was always ready to lend a listening ear and provide support where she could. Daisy was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother whose main concern was the welfare of her immediate and extended family. She was dedicated to perpetuating Jewish heritage and traditions throughout her life. The family extends their appreciation to Dr. James Johnston and staff at the Manitoba Cancer Clinic for their many years of support and care. Interment is at the Shaarey Zedek Cemetery, Winnipeg.
