Goldie Garson Davis
1921-2018
Goldie Garson Davis left us in her 97th year on April 26,
2018. The daughter of Hyman and Annie Garson and one of four sisters.
Goldie built a close immediate family – her children Philip, Rozzi and
Nordau, Michael and Hyla, Susie and David; her grandchildren, Amit,
Tracy, Lisa, Kris, Seth, Zoe, Ben, Leah, Anna, Colin, Liron, Adam,
Beth, Tim, Aaron, Barry and Sarah, and her great- grandchildren:
Nathan, Rhea, Cohen, Maya, Jake, Eliana, Abraham, Samson, Noah and
Sophie.
She ensured a strong extended family, evidenced in the years
of weekly visits and phone calls from Robert, Anna, Shawna, Paul,
Barbie, Alan, Cathy and many, many others. Her strength came from her
67 year love affair with Abraham D. Davis, also of blessed memory.
Together they ran the Ideal Stores in Saint John, New Brunswick, for
over 50 years. « The Store » became the centre of gathering
for the extended family and a touchstone for the community at large.
Their move to Toronto meant 15 years of Shabbat dinners, each week
with at least 15, and four generations attending. Goldie Davis was
grateful for everyone and everything that came into her life. In these
last years she grew close to Nora and Conie. We all did, and are so
grateful for their care and devotion.
