Sylvia (nee Levey) Glicksman, born on January 27, 1921 in Ottawa passed away on June 5, 2018.

Sylvia is survived by her sons, Earle and Howard; daughters, Suzanne Price and Lisa Smecca, daughters in law Anita and Bernarda, son-in-law Gino, seven grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Wilfie and Milton and sister, Kay.

She proudly obtained a degree in Fine Arts at York University in her 60’s. She was involved at the “Y” (JCC), Toronto Watercolour Society, many bridge clubs, Bruce Trail, numerous feminist, humanist and social justice organizations.
