Predeceased by her parents, Samuel and Molly Gilman; brothers, Abie and Issie; and sister Ida Cohen. Devoted aunt to numerous nieces and nephews. Bessie was a wonderful mother, friend and a devoted wife. She married Al in 1950 and began an extraordinary life together. They were inseparable throughout the rest of her life. She had an immense amount of energy, going non-stop from morning till night. When Mom travelled to visit her children, her suitcase was filled with baked goods that only she could create. Bessie took immense pride in the achievements of her children and grandchildren. She travelled frequently to see them and was always there to kvell over their achievements in academics, athletics and arts. Mom's highest priority was family. She revelled in family occasions, always looking forward to everyone coming together for celebrations. Her childrens' extended families became as her own. There was nothing that Bessie wouldn't do for her husband and family. She will be sadly missed by all of us. Above all else, she leaves us with the gift of a close and loving family. Funeral services will be held in Winnipeg on May 16 at 9:30 a.m. at the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue. Shiva will be held at apartment 701, 141 Wellington Cres. Donations may be made to the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, or a charity of your choice.
