Daisy Spiegel

Daisy Spiegel

The Matriarch. In her 92^nd year, Daisy Spiegel (nee Saada), our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother has departed this world on her terms surrounded by love. Born to a merchant family in Tripoli, Libya, her life took her through 4 continents, several wars and many years of happiness with her beloved husband, Al Spiegel, the heroic, volunteer soldier, who swept her off her feet during Israel’s War of Independence. They were married on the beaches of Tel Aviv at a different, uncertain time, barely speaking the same language. They settled in Toronto and spent 70 years side-by-side, devoted to each other and their family. The strength of our beloved matriarch has been passed through the generations, instilling the values of family, tradition, entrepreneurialism, and of course, good food. She will be deeply missed by those she touched, but we are here now to celebrate her amazing life and keep her wisdom, stories, and humour with us.

Daisy is survived by her three devoted daughters (and their partners): Linda (Murray), Corrine (Jonathan), Michelle (Alan), her adoring grandchildren: Rachel (Adam), Darrah (Sebastian), Ezra (Lisa) , Carly (Jordan), Zachary (Ilana), Joshua (Safi), Joanna (Brett), David (Marie), Daniel (Maya), and her cute great grandchildren: Lewis, Julius, Lia, Miriam, Liam, Alejandro.

Memorial donations may be made to Beit Halochem Canada 905-695-0611.

Altho' I was not a friend of Daisy, I well recall the time in 1948 when young Canadian Jewish Men volunteered to go to Palestine and create the Jewish Country Israel. Many left behind girl friends who were friends of mine, but Al met Daisy in the newly created independent State Of Israel, when he was serving during the war. Theirs was a true love story of a Hero and a Heroine.

Auntie Daisy was a remarkable person who left an amazing legacy. I remember her and Uncle Al's 50th Anniversary celebration like it was yesterday. And I'm pretty sure there's a giant poker game going on somewhere...with Johnnys and Deuces wild.

Dear Linda, Corrine, Mimi and family I was so sorry to hear this sad news. Daisy was a beautiful, warm, caring person. I have such fond childhood memories of weekly family gatherings at your grandparents’ house, where your mother was always so glamorous and full of life. My mother, Dorothy, grew up with the Spiegel family, and later in life, enjoyed many vacations down south with your parents and Auntie Marion. Your mother was blessed with three wonderful daughters who adored her Your love and devotion was never ending. My thoughts are with you all. Love Marsha

Auntie Daisy was such a kind and wonderful soul. While I felt a special connection with her, it is clear so many did. She was genuine and interested in the lives of those she touched. The warmth of her physical touch will always stand out in my memory of her. That, and her deliciously unique cuisine that I looked forward to on our childhood visits to Clanton Court. Deepest condolences to my cousins Linda, Corrine and Mimi and their beautiful families at this difficult time. Her memory is indeed a blessing! Alan and Diane Spiegel

I have such wonderful memories of Daisy from my childhood when my father would visit with his cousins.

So we had a unique bond. My condolences to the entire family on your loss.
