Loving aunt of many nieces and nephews. Sylvia, together with her husband Dave (z'l) and their five children made their home in Toronto on Warwick Avenue, down the street from their shul. There are many generations around the world who knew 40 Warwick was the most welcoming hotel in Canada, where everyone gathered around the table enjoying homemade Ashkenazic delicacies. This blend of Yiddishkeit and tradition, which defined Sylvia, was irresistible to everyone. Through Sylvia's love and observance of the holidays and Shabbat, she passed along these Jewish traditions and values to her children and grandchildren. Sylvia was a generous, caring and active member of her community and synagogue. She was a loyal friend with a sharp wit and a no-nonsense way about her. She took pride in her appearance and in her home. She valued education, tzedakah and empathized with those less fortunate. One of the things that defined her was her innate sense of right and wrong - you always knew where you stood with her. Her strength, determination and courage were only matched by her big heart. A family graveside service was held on Friday, March 19, 2021. Memorial donations may be made to Beit Halochem Canada, 905-695-0611, or Canadian Society For Yad Vashem, 416-785-1333.
