Nettye was predeceased by her younger brother Nathan and older sister Miriam. Nettye was loved by everyone she met.
She had a passion for bridge and was often club champion.
Nettye loved to travel and took many trips with Larry to Italy to buy shoes for the family shoe business.
Nettye loved people and the parties she hosted with Larry were memorable for their warmth and spirit of community among a large group of loving friends.
A committed grandmother who took every opportunity to travel to Toronto to watch her grandchildren grow up, never missing a birthday or ball game or important family occasion.
Larry and the family want to express utmost appreciation to the entire team at Amica at Bayview Gardens for caring for Nettye with such love and compassion.
