It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our beloved mother, Bubby and aunt, who passed away peacefully at Hillel Lodge on Sunday November 28, 2021 at the young age of 100. Adored mother of Fran Spinks (John) and Dodie Potechin (Bram). Much loved Bubby of Micah Potechin (Adina), Daniel Potechin (Sara) and Noah Potechin (Rajini). Great Bubby Sally of Oren, Ariel, Liana, Ella, Desmond, Sydney (predeceased) and Isla. Beloved aunt to Joy Kardish (David) and David Schlesinger (Anne) and their children who she loved dearly.
Predeceased by her husband Max, her companion Max Zelikovitz, her great granddaughter Sydney, her parents Rose and Abraham Goren, her brother David Goren and sister Ann Monson.
Sally was a pioneering business woman, who in her forties, with her sister Honey, started the successful Regency Dress Salon. In her later years Sally became an aspiring artist.
The family would like to thank the staff of Hillel Lodge and her special caregiver, Nelia Velasco, for their exceptional and compassionate care.

Death notice for the town of: Ottawa, Province: Ontario
My deepest sympathies to all of Sally’s wonderful family. I had great respect and admiration for Sally, whose smile always lit up the room. Sally was so kind to our mother, new to Hillel, watching over her and trying to engage her in conversation as they sat together in the dining room. Sally always had a kind hello and a depth and intelligence even to the end. She is deeply missed by all at Hillel. A life well lived indeed! With gratitude, Randy Leibovitch
