SILVERMAN, Eva (nee Packer)
On Thursday, December 15, 2011, in her ninety-forth year. Beloved wife of the late Julius ("Red") Silverman (1911-1984). Treasured mother of Marilyn and Bill, and cherished mother-in-law of Sandy. Special grandmother of Robyn and Brandee Diner. Younger sister of the late Mack Packer. She is survived by her special cousins, Sheila Bergman of Ft. Lauderdale, and Michael and Murray Gorodensky. Born in the village of Dubova, near Uman, in the Ukraine, she was the daughter of Miriam and Velvel Deutchman. In 1919, Eva and her brother were rescued after a pogrom by their maternal grandparents, Sarah and Mordecai Packer, who then immigrated to Bucharest and, in 1928, to Montreal. In Montreal, Eva led a long and fruitful life as a bookkeeper, wife and homemaker, and latterly, for several decades as a leading member of the Cote St. Luc Seniors' Club. She will be greatly missed.
