– Annette Goodman –

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Annette “Cookie” Goodman on Tuesday, May 4^th, 2021, just shy of her 91^st birthday. Since childhood Annette (nee Rich) was affectionately known as Cookie by all of her family members.

Most treasured and cherished wife of the late Julius Goodman. Loving mother and mother-in-law of Rick Goodman and Eleanor Lester, Lorne and Rochelle Goodman, the late Brian Goodman, and Randi Goodman and Ian Fromowitz. Devoted grandmother of Jeffrey Goodman and Kerri Graham, Aaron Goodman, and Jake Fromowitz; and great-grandmother of Evelyn and Isobel.

Cookie was the youngest of Harry and Golda Rich’s five children; the last surviving sister and sister-in-law of the late Gertrude (Gertie) and Lou Catzman, Martha and Louie Lackie, Robert (Boyke) and Vera Rich, and Ruth (Tootsie) and Moe Fruitman & Harry Kamiel. Also the last surviving sister-in-law of the late Carl and Frances Goodman, and Sally and Joe Rotman. Auntie Cookie will be forever missed by her many nieces and nephews on both the Rich and Goodman sides of her families. She will also be missed by her extended family members and long-time friends.

Recently, dementia took its toll on our Mom. She battled the best she could. Memorial donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. 416-967-5900 https://alzheimer.ca/on/en/about-us/alzheimer-society-ontario

Dear Rick So sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I have many fond memories of sitting and chatting at the kitchen table (on Prue Ave in the late '60s and early '70s) with her after dinner, while she smoked her one cigarette of the day. (how did she only have one?) You had a dedicated caring and loving Mom Rick - so easy to schmooz with. I am sure you cherish the many years you have had with her and the memories you now will carry with you in your heart.
