FAYE ETTA GREENSTONE It is with regret and sadness that we announce the passing of Faye Etta Greenstone (nee Yuchtman). Faye spent 39 wonderful years with her husband, Ruben (Bob) Greenstone, who passed 30 years ago. She was predeceased by her brothers Sam and Morris Yuchtman. Faye is survived by her brother, Cecil Yutman from Toronto. Faye was the matriarch of her close knit family with two daughters , Barbara and Andrea and her grandchildren, Marshall (and Lori) Tessler and their son Zach, Tracey Tessler and her two children, Brodie and Maya, Rory Waisman (and Chanda Bergson) and Michelle (and Karan) Mohal. Baba/Auntie Faye will be sorely missed by her nuclear and extended family. She was a pillar, a rock and a guiding star. Faye overcame a lot of adversity in her long life with a grace and poise like no other. She was known for her determination and her will. She came to Canada as a child from Poland and as an adult she was active in the Rosh Pina Synagogue Sisterhood. Faye made so many friends along the way and kept them all as lifelong friends. Funeral services will be held graveside at the Rosh Pina Memorial Park Cemetery, 2795 Main St. at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 4. Meal of condolence will follow at the Gwen Sector Creative Living Centre, 1588 Main St. Donations can be made to the Gwen Sector Creative Living Centre in Faye's honour.

Bob & Faye were good friends with my Mom & Dad (Pauline and Maurice Hnatiuk) and we enjoyed their visits with the girls. Faye was fun and full of energy and even though it has been many, many years since they last saw each other, my Mom was very saddened to hear of Faye's passing. Please accept our sincere sympathies. - Posted by: Theresa Hunter (nee Hnatiuk) (Family friend) on: Jan 11, 2015

Baba Faye showed unconditional love to all her family members and friends and when I married her grandson I gained a wonderful, doting and caring grandmother. She is the only grandmother I have ever known and I will miss her smile, her kisses and hugs, her cooking and spoiling of her great-grandson. I will miss my baba dropping by on a whim for a visit. I will miss visiting her home as it was my home too and I felt cherished there. Baba I love you. - Posted by: Lori Tessler (Granddaughter-in-law) on: Jan 09, 2015

Many childhood memories of going to Faye's house. As a true baba would she welcomed everyone with open arms and made sure you never left hungry. Always a listener and never one to judge harshly made her an elder to confide in. I will cherish the fond memories for a lifetime that are instilled in me by knowing her through my life long friend. Rest in peace Faye and know that you left a legacy of happiness while you were here with us all. - Posted by: Kevin minuk (Friend of Faye's grandson) on: Jan 04, 2015

Faye will be remembered by many and missed by many. I met Faye a couple years ago with my mother (Bernice hendin) who was a loving friend of hers and her family. She was a very friendly person with a kind heart. She loved her family dearly and my mother dearly as well. They all took in my mother as one of their own. I truly will miss chatting with faye when i visit Winnipeg. - Posted by: shari fraser (hendin) (daughter of her long time friend bernice hendin) on: Jan 03, 2015
