I am so sorry to hear the sad news of Temma's passing. She was such a creative and dedicated artist, and a treasured member of Holy Blossom Temple where we met. Her legacy is felt by many who were inspired by her to bring out their artistic talent or contribute to one of her group projects. May Temma's memory be for a blessing.

Temma was my good friend since we became grade 9 classmates at Malvern C.I. We had attended nursery school together but neither of us remembered. Her mother Ruth made me very welcome in their home for the occasional Sabbath dinner and took me with them to services at Holy Blossom Temple. We crossed paths when our daughters took gymnastics together but our main contact through the years has been annual dinners or lunches of the Malvern girls. Temma's friendship has enriched my life in so many ways. I will miss her. My sympathy to Paul and all those closest in her life.

We remember Temma, fondly as she turned an heir loom tablecloth into a tallet for our daughter Laura, who eventually turned it into part of the Chuppah at her wedding! Temma and Paul were the first renters in our apartment in Jerusalem! Our deepest condolences to Paul and the entire family.

I am so shocked at the sad news of Temma´s passing, I hardly know what to say. I knew Temma as fellow art teachers at Jarvis Collegiate for years. She was an amazing textile artist. Very recently, she and I spoke at the WAAC. My condolences to her family. Marjorie Moeser

I knew Temma when we attended high school at Malvern CI in the
1960s. She was an intelligent creative student with a great sense of humour. I followed her career in teaching and in art with interest, and was one of a group of Malvern Girls who tried to lunch together at least once a year. We met this past June 1, 2023, and had no idea we would lose her so soon.
Rest in peace, dear Temma. Our sincerest condolences to her husband Paul and family.
