Fruma Shore (nee Garber), 96, of Marion Bridge, N.S., formerly of Glace Bay, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her immediate family, on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2013 in Sydney at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital.
Fruma immigrated from Poland with her family at the age of nine, graduated from Glace Bay High School and went on to study at the Business College in Sydney. She married Isadore 'Issie' Shore of Glace Bay in 1943 and then devoted herself to her husband and four children as a homemaker, serving as the anchor in her family over the years, while contributing her time and baking expertise to various Jewish charitable organizations, such as Hadassah and Hebrew Ladies Aid.
Fruma was highly regarded by all who knew her for her integrity, humour and no-nonsense attitude and will be greatly missed by both her family and friends.
She was predeceased by her husband, Isadore Shore and her sister, Zelda Baboushkin.
Fruma is survived by her sons, Norman and Gary; daughter, Sharon Jacobson (Stanley) and son, Jack (Karen Agulnik); nieces, Sharon Derevensky and Rona Siegal; grandsons, Matthew, Jonah (Riva) and Zachary and great-grandson, Izzy.
The funeral service was held at Patten’s Funeral Home, 71 Union St., Glace Bay on Friday, Aug. 16 at 4 p.m. followed by interment at the Congregation Sons of Israel Jewish cemetery on Dominion Street, Glace Bay. Rabbi David Ellis of Halifax officiated.
