OBITUARY TILLIE COHEN 1916 - 2005 Tillie Cohen of Calgary passed away peacefully at the Rockyview General Hospital on Monday, June 27, 2005 at the age of eighty-eight years. Tillie was born in Fort Francis, ON on August 17, 1916 and as a young girl moved to Montral with her family. There she met her future husband Harry and they married in 1938. Her son Robert was born not long after, followed by her daughter Susan (Ellen Sue). In the following years she welcomed her two grandsons, Adam and Seth, whom she loved dearly. Tillie was a caring, giving, generous and loving wife, mother, grandmother and community citizen. Tillie volunteered for the Red Cross in Canada during World War II and always kept giving back to others through her ongoing volunteer work in the community with Hadassah Bnai Brith (President) and ORT. We will always remember her soft strength, courageous pioneer spirit and selflessness, always putting others first.
