MARSHA SINGER On June 5, 2016, surrounded by her family, Marsha Singer 89, passed away at the Victoria Hospital. Marsha is survived by her five daughters: Donna, Debby (Sam), Sheree, Cindy and Ileen (Charlie), nine grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. Marsha was predeceased by her husband of 68 years, Lawrence, her sister, Beatrice Levenson, her mother and father Max and Dora Kershner. Mom was born and grew up in Winnipeg where she met her husband Lawrence and there they spent a lifetime together. They loved to golf and Mom would often golf twice a day, once in the morning with her ladies and again in the evening with Dad. They loved to travel and tried to get away every winter either to Florida, Hawaii or on a cruise. When Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease and Mom could no longer care for him at home she went to the Simkin Centre five days a week from 11:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to take care of him until a serious car accident made this impossible. Mom was devoted to her family. She took pride in all of our accomplishments, loved to share our mitzvahs and was never too tired, too busy, or too old to babysit. It was always her pleasure. It was also a joy for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren to sleep over at Babies' or go out for lunch with her or just stop by for a visit. They knew they would be welcomed with open arms, there would always be something in the freezer for them to eat and just hearing their voices or seeing their faces would be enough for her. Marsha's heart was as big as she was. She was a dedicated volunteer: be it gift wrapping for ORT, doing hearing testing in the Winnipeg School Division or as an aide in the ESL class at the school down the street until she was 87 and had the accident. She did not know the word NO. Mom's passing came as a shock to all of us but we are grateful for all that she taught us and so proud to call her Mom. Donations may be made to Alzheimer's or to the charity of your choice.
