Our Matriarc
Roslyn Raskin (Razie/Mom) Z"L
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Matriarc, Roslyn Raskin. Mom passed peacefully, with dad and the boys by her side, Saturday, January 28, 2023, after a short, courageous battle with Pancreatic Cancer. Roslyn Raskin (nee Spiegel) was born in Montreal in 1934, the daughter of Lilly and Louie Spiegel. Tragically, she lost her father when she was 2 years old and her mother at age 24 years. She adored her older brother Murray Spiegel, Q.C. and was surrounded by a large loving family of aunts and uncles. Roz met the love of her life, Lee, when she was 19, married at 21, and they enjoyed a long happy marriage of 67 plus years together. She was very active in community service groups and entrepeneurially, bringing Baskin Robbins to the Ottawa area in 1975. Roslyn’s entire existence was centered around her family. She was a loving mother to her three boys, Ian, Brian(Lisa) and Steven, and a doting grandmother/bubbie to her adored grandchildren, Robbie (Melissa), Sammy, Noah, Adam, Cori, Casey, and Sebastian. A terrific baker, an amazing cook, a fantastic loyal friend to any and all who were fortunate enough to know her. The world is diminished without her light. Loved and missed by all. Donations to the Roslyn and Lee Raskin Endowment Fund at The Hillel Lodge Long Term Care Foundation (https://hillel-ltc.com/foundation/ways-to-give/donate-now) would be graciously appreciated.
