Eleanor Mitchell
(née Dubinsky)
Peacefully in her 87th year, surrounded by her children, on Wednesday, November 25, 2020. She was a remarkable wife to her late beloved husband of 65 years, Harris, and mother and mother in-law to David Mitchell and Carolyn Stevens, Steven Mitchell and Susan Canter, and Susan Mitchell and Mary-Beth Hamel. “Grandma” will be missed by her adored and adoring grandchildren Seth, Carly, Zachary and Noah and fondly remembered by her step-grandchildren Elizabeth and Matthew. Devoted daughter of the late David and Tillie Dubinsky (nee Goldbloom), daughter in-law of the late Gussie Mitchell, she will also be missed by her sister Eunice Kamer and nieces Marcy and Debbie. An immeasurable thank you to her cousins Mac Brotman (Arlene), Nathan Brotman, Toby Brotman, Elaine Pesses (Erwin), and Joanne Gray (Jeff), Beverly and Sam Goldbloom and many friends who provided loving support during her last difficult months. Her life’s dedication and focus was on her husband and family but she was also a great friend to many, a talented sculptor, an avid bridge player, and an insatiable reader. Till her last days, she would routinely beat her children and daughters-in-law at gin. She had an aversion to winters and reveled being in the warmer temperatures of Florida with her husband and friends. Her children would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff of the Jewish General and Catherine Booth Hospitals for their care and in particular her daughters-in-law, Carolyn and Susan, for the love and time they gave our mother these recent months. Donations in Eleanor’s memory may be made to the Hematology/Oncology department c/o the Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation, (514) 934-4846, or visit www.thechildren.com/donate.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Eleanor Mitchell 2020..
