ANNETTE NOZICK GOLDENBERG
June 20, 1920 – November 11, 2022

Annette passed away peacefully on November 11 at the age of 102 at the Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre.
Before starting a family mom went to the University of Manitoba where she obtained a degree in Interior Arts, later working for Arnold Rice and furnishing homes for Qualico Construction.
Mom was a “high maintenance” woman – going to the beauty salon weekly. And dad gifted mom with a blue Pontiac convertible.
As an only child she had little family but a multitude of friends and cousins who have predeceased her. To name a few: Merle and Manny Axelrod, Peggy Guberman, Anne Nozick and Sylvia Bricker.
I held mom’s hand as she slipped away at the Simkin Centre. I know she knew I was with her.
At 102 she lived a long life.
Mom was predeceased by her parents, Jack and Sara Nozick, her beloved husband, Alex, and her son, David. No parent should ever have to bury a child.
She is survived by daughter Bonnie Paul Goldenberg, former son-in-law Cary Paul, and two grandsons, Alan and Jamey.
Mom was a champion bridge player. She once played opposite Egyptian actor Omar Sharif in a tournament. She was an avid knitter, cook and philanthropist.
Mom, we have been to hell together but you and daddy have raised me with all the right rules. I will love you and miss you forever. Your “Pussycat.”
Burial and shiva were private.
Donations in Annette’s memory may be made to the Spiritual Care Department at the Saul and Claribel Simkin Centre, 1 Falconridge Drive, R3Y 1V9.

JOEL COOPERBAND

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Joel David Cooperband on Friday, October 6, 2023. Joel leaves behind his loving wife of 35 years, Cheryl, his gorgeous daughter Adeena, and his beautiful son Joshua. He also leaves behind his sister Reesa (Marty), brother Benjie (Adrienne), brother-in-law Monte (Stephanie), mother-in-law Shirley, along with nieces, nephews, and his uncle David Weinberg.
Additionally, he leaves behind his favourite fur babies, Jersey and Milo. Joel joins his dad Mickey, who passed February 1983, his mom Sandra – March 2018, and his father-in-law Phillip – December 2022.
Joel grew up in Garden City on Woodcrest and loved going to the family cottage at Winnipeg Beach. He worked at Silverman Jewellers and started Executive Jewels with his wife. They travelled across Western Canada setting up their wares but more importantly, enjoyed daily adventures together. Their children both worked with them. And they loved their lives. Family was his greatest passion. Josh chose a different path to take and Joel was so very proud of him. He would talk about him at every opportunity. Adeena was his sidekick, his buddy, his best friend. A huge hole in our hearts is felt by everyone who knew him. Funeral services took place at the Chesed Shel Emes with interment at Shaarey Zedek Cemetery on October 10, 2023. Shiva was private.
Joel was so appreciative of a second chance at life. Unfortunately, it didn’t last as long as we hoped. Until we meet again – beautiful soul.
