Sylvia Karrel (1921 – 2020)
It is with the deepest sadness we regret to announce the passing of our mother,Sylvia Karrel formerly of Park Street, Sydney at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital on March 25th. She was the daughter of the late Israel& Lena (Mirsky) Glickman. She spent many, many summers at her cottage on the Mira which she named “Karrel’s Kove” and it held a special place in her heart.
She is survived by her daughter Valerie (Kevin) Moncton, NB, 3 sons all of Sydney:Jerry (Debbie MacLeod), Martin (Margaret,) Curdis (Liesje) and her two loving granddaughters Whitney and Bailey who were her pride and joy. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Esther Glickman of Toronto and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Sam in 1995, and her sister Anne Bleeman and her four brothers Bernie, Nathan, Morris and Saul. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. As no funeral service could be held, she was interred in a private family ceremony in the Hebrew Cemetery, Whitney Pier.
Special thanks to her wonderful caregivers who made her last two years so enjoyable.You treated her like family. As well, we would like to thank the Doctors and Nurses of 4B and Palliative Care for their attention and caring.
In memoriam donations may be made to the Palliative Care Unit or Society or a charity of ones’ choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Sylvia Karrel 2020..
