Rachel Paikin died in her 100th year at home on Valentine\u2019s Day, February 14, 2021, Day of Love.\u00a0 \u00a0To her husband Wolfe Paikin, who died at 89 in the Millennial Year 2000, she was the lovely Rachel Penelope Ellis from Stratford, Ontario, daughter of the late Percy and Maud Ellis and sister of the late Frank and Jack Ellis. Wolfe and Rachel\u2019s wartime romance culminated with their marriage on a snowy New Year\u2019s Day in 1945 in a brief and spartan ceremony \u2014 no bouquet, no music, no photos \u2014 conducted by Rabbi Philosopher Dr. Emil Fackenheim.\u00a0 \u00a0 To her children, Auby Paikin and his wife Karen of Toronto and Tamara Paikin Nolan and her husband Dermot Nolan of Hamilton, she was Mum, a warm harbour of love, wisdom, dedication, unrelenting determination, generosity and caring.\u00a0 \u00a0To just about everyone else she was Bubbie.\u00a0 First and foremost, this includes her six grandchildren to whom she was utterly devoted and of whom she was gloriously proud: Nora Nolan and her husband Andrew Hammond, Ned Nolan and his wife Chantel Huszar, Rabbi Jesse Paikin and his wife Rabbi Stephanie Crawley, Kennedy Nolan and his wife Laura Nolan, Emily Paikin Weiss and her husband Brett Weiss and Rachel Nolan and her partner Geoff Ball.\u00a0 \u00a0It also includes her seven beloved great grandchildren and an eighth on the way, each of whom she would welcome as a new miracle in her life: Patrick and Declan Hammond, Ellie and Cedric Nolan, Molly Nolan and Brooklyn and Summer Weiss.\u00a0 \u00a0Bubbie managed to become Bubbie to almost all who knew her, her friends, her children\u2019s friends, grandchildren\u2019s friends and even their teachers, neighbours and extended family \u2014 the whole mishpucha!\u00a0 \u00a0She was Bubbie to her two dedicated full time caregivers, Elsie Calderon and Imelda Gonzalez who were with her when she died. Our hearts are filled with awe and gratitude for their superior care, their love and their never- ending support for our mother over the years.\u00a0 \u00a0She was Bubbie to the entire Shalom Village Apartments care team and especially to Khaatera Faiz with whom she shared many stories and good times.\u00a0 \u00a0And she was Bubbie to the caring health professionals who marvelled at her resilience and were enchanted by her charms: Micholette Brown, her visiting VON Nurse; geriatrician Dr. Chris Paterson and family practitioner Dr. O. Kehinde; Sheila Morin who was her care co-ordinator at CCAC-LHIN and Shalom Apartments nurse Michelle Grady to whom we are grateful for easing Mum and our family through her final days.\u00a0 \u00a0With this wonderful team behind her, we might be forgiven for having believed our Mother and Bubbie would go on forever. But still, much remains. With profound thanks for her life, we shall hold her memory close always and as the seasons change we shall continue to be inspired by her bravery, fortitude and giving spirit. She is also held in the hearts of her nieces Susan Abravanel of Washington, D.C. and Helen Cannefax of Los Angeles with whom she maintained a special relationship even in her later years.\u00a0 \u00a0We remember a dedicated volunteer and successful career woman, a happy gardener and an enthusiastic lover of birds, an intuitive cook and a voracious reader and a jolly soul whose easy laughter still echoes in our ears. She loved old songs, new ideas and family celebrations and to the end, found identity and comfort in the traditions of her Jewish faith.\u00a0 \u00a0 A private graveside service will take place Tuesday, February 16 at Anshe Shalom Cemetery, Hamilton.
