Faye Leibtag, mother of Ira Leibtag, died peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family early on Monday morning in Canada.

Faye made an impression on all who knew her, always gracious, caring, loving and passionately committed to her family. She will always be remembered for her love and devotion to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, friends and everyone who was part of her life.

She was buried in Hamilton, Ontario on Tuesday and the family are staying there through shiva.

Blessings of strength and comfort to Ira, Mary, Maggie, Natalie and all their family.

May Faye’s memory be for a blessing!
