BRICKMAN, Sarah - On Friday, October 30, 2020.
Sarah Brickman, daughter of the late Sam and Rose Simons.
Beloved wife for 46 years of the late Sidney Brickman.
Loving mother of Robert and Ruth, and Leslie and Jo Ann.
Cherished grandmother of Katharine and Brett, Alexandra and Taylor, Jonathan, Jacob and Daniel.
Beloved sister and sister-in-law of the late Alfred, Morris, Harold, Norman and Sidney Simons and their wives.
Beloved aunt to many, many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews.
Sarah was also much loved by countless cousins, extended family and friends.
Sarah's positive outlook, resilience, warmth, wisdom and gentle soul was an inspiration to everyone she met. An original working mother, she was a secretary at the North York Board of Education for over two decades. Throughout her life, she was a vibrant and active part of various communities, including Yiddish speakers, Baycrest, Beth Tikvah Synagogue and VIVA Thornhill Woods.
In her later years, she became a strong advocate for accessibility and created VIVA's weekly Yiddish program. From a young age, Sarah was a highly accomplished pianist and teacher. She volunteered her time playing piano for programs at Baycrest and VIVA Thornhill Woods for three decades, bringing joy to so many people.
We are grateful to the dedicated and wonderful caregivers at VIVA Thornhill Woods, Mackenzie Health, Baycrest and North York General Hospital for sharing their healing powers in these difficult times.
A family graveside service will be held on Monday, November 2, 2020, and Shiva will be held online using Zoom.
Memorial donations may be made to The Sarah & Sidney Brickman Memorial Fund c/o The Baycrest Foundation at 416-785-2875 or the charity of your choice.
