In Loving Memory of Nina

Nina, beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully at the age of 94 on October 25, 2026. Born on August 8, 1932, in the former Soviet Union, Nina trained and worked as a pharmacist. She shared nearly 50 happy years of marriage with her beloved husband, Iakov, building a life and raising their two sons.

Nina was predeceased by her sister, Nadia, in 1995; her husband, Iakov, in 2008; and her eldest son, Alexander, in 2024. She is lovingly remembered by her son Mark (Regina); her grandchildren, Veronica (Sergey), Matthew and Naomi; and her great-granddaughter, Leia. Nina leaves behind a legacy of strength, warmth and unconditional love. Courageous, resilient and endlessly devoted, she loved her family above all else and taught us what true strength looks like. She leaves behind many beautiful memories and will be forever missed.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Nina’s memory may be made to Baycrest in recognition of the care and support it provides to older adults and their families,(https://baycrestfoundation.org/).
