MORLEY ROSENBLOOM
Morley Rosenbloom’s pain ended on Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at the age of 67.
Morley is survived by his wife of 20 years, Mary Ann; his mother Sally; his children Tobi Leveille (Daniel) and Ben; his granddaughter Anne; his sister Judy Searle (Mark); nieces, nephews and extended family. He was predeceased by his grandparents Ralph and Rae Mynarski, his father Bery, and his first wife, Olga (nee Bilan).
Born in Winnipeg on May 25, 1949 to new immigrants and holocaust survivors Bery and Sally Rosenbloom, he attended I.L. Peretz Folk School, Jefferson Junior High, and Garden City Collegiate. He graduated from University of Manitoba in 1974 with a BSc (Hons) and in 1977 with a BEd.
From 1977 – 1980 he taught junior high science at Ruth Betts school in Flin Flon, MB.
After returning to Winnipeg he worked as a research assistant in Cardiac Anesthesia at St. Boniface Research Centre, during which time he co-authored several journal articles in vascular and cardiac anesthesia.
Morley was a lover of nature and the outdoors. He enjoyed camping and canoeing with his family. He was also a fan of the arts and regularly attended performances of the ballet, opera, and theatre. He also enjoyed science fiction television shows and loved watching with his favourite snack, a bowl of ice cream.
Judaism was very important to him and he will be fondly remembered as the Ba’al Tekiah (shofar blower) at Congregation Etz Chayim.
From the age of 13 on, Morley grappled with many health challenges: Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s, arthritis, and related inflammatory conditions.
Funeral service was held on Friday March 10th. Pallbearers were Mark Searle, David Searle, Cary Rubenfeld, Zvi Dil, Gordon Steindel, and Myron Schultz. Donations in Morley’s name may be made to Congregation Etz Chayim, Jewish National Fund, or a charity of your choice.
The family wishes to thank the Winnipeg Fire and Paramedics Service for their efforts. We are especially thankful to the Winnipeg Police Service District 3 for their amazing compassion.
“He wasn’t choosing death as much as he was choosing to end his unbearable pain.” – John Hewett

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.
