EDITH RABER Edith Raber (nee Claman), passed away peacefully on October 13, 2010 at the Riverview Health Centre. Edith is survived by her husband of 64 years, Sunny (Israel); her children Isaac and Donna Raber, Faigie Samson, Tsipi (Carolyn) Raber and Chaim (Howard) and Valerie Raber; her beloved sisters Bayla Mainster and Kayla Coodin; her loving grandchildren Rebecca, Leah, Molly, Solomon, Eddie and Toby; and 41 nieces and nephews. Edith was born in Saskatoon, SK on July 17, 1925 to Sam and Gittel Claman. She was the sixth of nine children. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings, Bessie, Esther, Rebecca, Zalman, David and Moe. Edith was a devoted wife, mother and Baba. Her greatest joy was family, always sharing her wisdom, support and guidance. Her compassion, generosity and patience extended far beyond the family. She tutored children and adults with learning disabilities. She achieved many successes. Her reward was the growing self-confidence she was able to instill in her students. She volunteered in public schools in Winnipeg and Palm Springs CA, where she and Sunny spent many memorable winters. She always enjoyed a good game of bridge, which led to many lasting friendships. The funeral was held on October 15, 2010. Those wishing to make donations are asked to contribute to Jewish Child and Family Services, Winnipeg, or the charity of their choice.
