Beate Lowenberg

Our sincere condolences on your loss. David Smolkin and Barry Malchy.

Dear Daniel, Sarah, Janis, Gabriel, Frank, Faye, Sammy & all of the Lowenberg & Spitzer families. We are very sad to hear of the loss of Dear Beate. We are so sorry for your loss. We send our sincere and heartfelt condolences to you all at this very sad and difficult time. I would like to share “My Fond Memories of Beate” : I will always remember Dear Auntie Beate as being so very kind, caring, loving & thoughtful & I will also always have fond memories remembering Auntie Beate & Uncle Monty’s welcoming & kind hospitality in their lovely home with their family in Toronto. Also such lovely thoughtful gifts that I often received from “Auntie Beate & the Lowenberg's”, on various occasions, whether it be on Birthdays, our Wedding or for any other reason, like the times when visiting Toronto on very many occasions over the many years!, always a kind & thoughtful “Canada” gift to take home! I still have them all I have to say, unless they were edible of course! One in particular that still stands out is a beautiful letter opener from Toronto, Canada! Also when Beate & family visited England, there was always a kind & thoughtful personal gift given that originated from Canada, given individually to whoever they visited in England too, such a very kind thing to do. Another memorable occasion that comes to mind when the Lowenberg's visited England, was when they all came to stay at Betty’s home in Coventry & my Mum would get everything ready for the overnight stays, setting up camp beds & sleeping bags downstairs & getting the rooms ready upstairs too! One of the times, I remember that it was arranged that one or two of my cousins would be staying overnight at a local hotel, not too far away from Betty’s home. The next morning my cousins would return to Betty’s home & tell the story of how they had felt like they had spent the night at “The Bates Motel”! I recall that after that night spent there, my cousins would never want to return to that hotel again & everyone had a laugh about that! I also have very fond memories of my Mother Betty & I on many occasions, visiting her brother Monty & Beate & all the family & staying in their lovely home in Viewmount Avenue in the Basement’s Guest Rooms! I know my Mum had very fond memories of those times altogether & I do too! Those lovely “family” memories will be treasured always. I will always remember our family outing trips to my favourite places, Niagara Falls & Niagara on the Lake. Also our many times spent at Frank & Faye’s home enjoying lovely meals altogether. Also mentioning Beate’s Dear friend Rebecca, her husband Sammy & their lovely family too & spending a lot of memorable times with them as well over the years. I will always have happy memories of Beate & the family, at various times with family get togethers and she will be sadly missed by us all. We are thinking of you all often especially at such a sad and very difficult time. We send our love to you all. Love from Karen, Ian & Derek xxx

Dear Lowenberg family, I have only just learned of Beate’s passing and was truly saddened by the news. I have been delivering kosher meals on wheels to her every Friday for the past 5 years and wanted you all to know out of everyone on my route she was my favourite! I got to know her well as she shared lovely stories with me (from safely behind her mask) about her life and how much joy and pride she got from all of you! I feel grateful and blessed to have known her and also Sarah and Frank. I wish you all a long life and good memories of her beautiful spirit.
