Annette NAIMAN

With a splash of bright lipstick accenting her sparkling smile, Annette Naiman personified the motto: "LIVE * LOVE * LAUGH." Over 96 years, she never lost her wicked sense of humour; her ability to connect with family, friends and strangers; her remarkable resolve in the face of adversity; her gift for creating beauty and finding joy in each and every day. The spirited and stylish matriarch of our family was a pillar of strength and positivity who, in classic form, passed away on the longest, brightest day of the year. Annette was the cherished daughter of Leo and Gussie Hertzman (z'l); a devoted wife to Arnold Naiman (z'l); a beloved mother and mother- in-law to Sandy Naiman and Martin Lager; Elayne and Jeremy Freeman, Glorianne Naiman and Graham Keenan. An adored grandmother and great-grandmother to Lauren (Andreas), Allison, Phoebe (Pat), Maxwell, Raphael, Penelope, Ruby and Jasper. A wonderful sister and sister-in-law to Phyllis and Morris Schwartz (z'l); Florence (z'l) and Harold Hertzman (z'l); Renee (z'l) and Norman Goodis (z'l); Laurie Naiman (z'l) and Judy Palmer; and Temmy (Naiman) Acton. A treasure to many nieces, nephews and cousins and to everyone who came into her radiant orbit. With thanks to her wonderful doctors, Ellen Morch, Stephanie Kim. Heartfelt gratitude to her compassionate caregivers: Juliet, Kareen, Felsie, Christa, Gina, Shella, Bernadith and Zeny. At Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, 2401 Steeles Avenue West (three light west of Dufferin), for service on Tuesday, June 25th at 10:30 am. Interment at Holy Blossom Memorial Park.
