She was predeceased by her beloved husband Russ, son-in-law Mark, her parents Joseph and Bella Weiner, and kid brother Sidney. She is lovingly remembered by her children, Sharon (Harvey) Turbovsky, Wendy (David) Grusko, Syd (Barb) Kowall, Elaine (Mark of Blessed memory) Shenback, Jan (Jerry) Klein, and Howard (Pam) Kowall, 12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her sisters Lily Feuer, Annie Cohan and Sandra Kagan, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Dave and Nayna Kowall, and many nieces and nephews. Mom was an exceptional matriarch of our family. She was a kind, warm and loving mother and Baba. Nothing pleased Mom more than visiting with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We will be comforted by times spent together at family events and fun times in Gimli. Mom we will miss you. Mom's funeral was held on November 28, 2014 at Congregation Etz Chayim with interment at Shaarey Zedek Cemetery. She was carried to her final resting place by her grandsons. "Those we love can never be more than a thought apart. They will live on in our hearts forever."

Our sincere condolences to the Kowall family. Our dad/husband Peter was employed by Russ at Economy Electric. When dad passed away Mr. and Mrs. Kowall were very supportive to our Mom who was suddenly left with a young family to raise on her own. Mom always speaks highly of the Kowall family and our dad respected both very much. Although we have not seen Mrs. Kowall for quite some time she was a special lady to our family. May you hold dear the memories of your Mom as many others do. - Posted by: Levine, Kevin, Craig and Leanne Plysiuk ((husband/father worked for Mr. Kowall)) on: Dec 17, 2014

I, as well as Jason, missed spending time with you. But the Greatness of your Being, as a Mother & Wife, I looked up to you as an outstanding woman. The phone calls we had shared, where you helped guide me as being the mother of a large family. I looked up to both you and Zaida Russ as role models. I will treasure the stories you shared with me, and your recipes I got from you will be passed along. I recently found a photo of you sitting with my beloved Mama. In the short time you 2 spent visiting, Mama really enjoyed your company, and had hoped that you 2 would get together again. Mama passed 8 years ago now. I feel peace in knowing you are finally reunited with the LOVE OF YOUR LIFE, Zaida Russ, who is also sadly missed everyday. You both were so good to me, I will value my own special moments you each took the time to share with me. Your legacy lives on, with all of your children, Grandchildren & Great-Grandchildren. Always close in our hearts, and sadly missed by everyone your life touched. May you be in peace, as you have been reunited with your loved ones you are with now. Much loving prayers are being sent your way daily. Love, Jennifer - Posted by: Jennifer Turbovsky (Grand daughter in- law) on: Dec 16, 2014

"you will never know the importance of a salami sandwich on a Sunday afternoon to a young boy." Never a day goes by that you and Zaida have not been in my thoughts. I am sorry that I was not there for you and live with that pain everyday. Though we were far apart your teachings have guided my life and given me the strength to do what must be done. Your life was a gift to every persons heart you touched. I am at peace now knowing you and Zaida are together in that great condo in the sky. - Posted by: jason turbovsky (oldest grandchild) on: Dec 13, 2014

How does a son begin to describe the huge loss of a loving mother in such few words,if in fact there is anyway to put it into words.For all those that have had a wonderful loving mother as I did with my mom, you can relate to my heavy hearten sorrow.Until months ago my mother always introduced me to her friends and acquaintance by saying "This is my baby"(I am 55 yrs old now) these words will stay in my heart and thoughts forever.Mom you are missed so much and always will be. - Posted by: Howard Kowall (Son) on: Dec 13, 2014
