CLAIRE SHINDLEMAN

claire shindlemanClaire Shindleman passed away peacefully on November 21, 2019 at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, one day after her birthday.

Claire was born in Gilbert Plains, Manitoba to Samuel and Anne Abells. Her siblings, all of blessed memory, were Rose Sarbit, and Bill, Hess and Charlie Abells. Claire is survived by her sons, Robert, Sandy, and Daniel, daughters-in-law Diane and Andrea, and grandchildren Edward, Henry, Annie and Anna-Lena.

Claire also leaves nephews and nieces, and a brother-in-law, Jack.

After a long illness with Alzheimer’s that sadly robbed Claire of much of life’s pleasures she is and will always remain missed tremendously. We cherish her memory, her unending love for family and friends, her selflessness and caring for the communities in which she lived. She taught well by example how to treat all others with respect and kindness, that a job worth doing was worth doing well, that you have to invest time and effort in whatever you do, and that success is a byproduct not an end goal of a life well lived. Claire lived selflessly to help others. She cherished the company of friends, loved to dance, took great care in being a gracious host, devoted wife, amazing cook and baker. As a woman in the first half of the 20th century, she was dissuaded from achieving her professional goals. Her first job was working in the family grocery store, and then after completing high school she worked at Palm Dairies in Winnipeg. Claire remembered these days with great affection for her colleagues.

Claire married Edward Shindleman and, after marriage, moved to Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. She quickly became a part of the fabric of Portage. She immersed herself in improving the school curriculum, she ran for school trustee, was on the Portage and District General Hospital Board, and all the while pursued golf (Portage Golf Club, and later at the Glendale Golf Club) and bridge (Life Master) with great passion. She was active with Hadassah Wizo. She welcomed the opportunities she had to travel including visits to Europe. She took an active interest in the family business activities. Claire took seriously the responsibilities of being a Canadian and a voter. She read extensively, informing herself on topics of the day, and formulated her own view. She supported and worked actively for charitable causes and the betterment of health care and research in Manitoba.

Gratitude to pallbearers Jerry Abells, Michael Golden, Michael Kowalson, Howie Raber, Michael Stronger and Fil Zimerman. Claire’s family also express their gratitude to Claire’s wonderful caregivers who showed respect and willingness always to assist. They include Lhyn, Patty, Melanie, Ivy, Milyn, Rothel, Maria, Lilyann, Joanna and Karla.

Donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Manitoba, Manitoba Heart & Stroke Foundation, or Gray Academy of Jewish Education.

BELLE BURKE MAY 12, 1926 – AUGUST 6, 202

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend, Belle Burke, who passed away peacefully after recently celebrating her 100th birthday. Belle lived a remarkable century filled with love, family, friendship, and many wonderful memories. She was a devoted wife to her husband, Matt, and a loving mother to Robert (Marilyn) and Lori (Barry).
Belle was a proud grandmother to Jessica (Daniel), Charles, Shaun (Nicole), Michael (Kristen), and Jay (Sara), and a cherished great-grandmother to Layla, Jake, Bree, Bo, Madeleine, Remy, Devon, Ellis, Wade, and Tessa. Her family was the greatest source of joy and pride throughout her life.
In her early years, Belle attended both Aberdeen and St. John’s High Schools. She was known for her amazing baking, and her delicious creations that were enjoyed by family and friends alike. She also loved playing Bridge and Mahjong, enjoying both the games and, perhaps most importantly, the friendships and laughter that came with them. Belle spent much of her life in Winnipeg before moving to Toronto in 2014. Wherever she lived, she had a special ability to make lasting friendships and touch the lives of those around her. She was warm, caring, and genuinely interested in the people she met, creating friendships that endured through the years.
Belle was predeceased by her parents, Sam and Sarah Fradkin, her brother Aaron, and her beloved husband Matt.
Her memory will live on through her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and the many friends whose lives she touched.
One hundred years of life, love, laughter, family, and friendship — a truly remarkable legacy.
The family would like to extend a very special and heartfelt thank you to Hervie, Belle’s amazing caregiver, who cared for her with extraordinary kindness, compassion, patience, and dedication.
Belle will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Donations can be made to your local food bank or charity of your choice.

MAL JURAVSKY MARCH 24, 1931 – AUGUST 19, 202

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Malik Juravsky on August 19, 2026 at the age of 95.Mal leaves to mourn his beloved wife of 67 years, Ruth, his children Louis Juravsky (Tracey Sauerland),Marsha (David) Rosenberg, Nancy (Howard) Pitch, Kathryn (Shayne) Taback, his grandchildren Joshua and Eliana Rosenberg, William Pitch, Geoffrey (Nicolette) Pitch, Menashe (Maytal) Pitch, Eitan Pitch, Abigail and Elliot Taback, and great-granddaughter Tziporah Pitch.
The son of Luba and Louis Juravsky, Mal was born in Winnipeg and raised in Garson, Manitoba. The youngest of six, he was predeceased by his siblings Lotte Cohen, Maurice (Minno) Jeroff, Wilfred (Curly), Abie, and Sam. After moving to Winnipeg, he graduated from St. Johns High School, and went on to earn a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physics from the University of Manitoba. In his forties, he obtained a B.Ed and Master of Education. He became a junior high math and science teacher and taught for many years at Selkirk Junior High. After he retired from teaching, he was often stopped by former students who came up to him and told him how much they loved and appreciated him. He was an avid reader and life-long learner. He enjoyed taking classes of all kinds after retirement. Always curious and a natural innovator, he invented machines and tools that were useful in his work at Garson Limestone, the business started by his father. Many iconic stone buildings were built using this Tyndall stone from the quarries, and he was intimately involved in every aspect of the cutting, and laying of the stone for the Winnipeg Post Office, Winnipeg Art Gallery, and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, among others. He was responsible for creating the 14,000-pound pivoting stone door at the Winnipeg Art Gallery, a task no engineer in North America would take on due to the danger and level of difficulty involved. Yet Mal, without an engineering degree, knew it was possible and set out to do it and succeeded.
Mal will be remembered for his kindness, his compassion, his humility, his sense of humour, his selflessness, his willingness to help anybody, his ability to teach, his love for his wife and family, and his beautiful, easy smile.
