Remembered fondly by her grandchildren Alan and Shawna, Dan and Paula, Michael and as a loving great-grandmother to Abigail, Ivy and Hunter. Dear sister of the late Yetta Insky, Fay Hyman, and Sydney Cooper. Born in Montreal December 15, 1910 to Asher and Annie Cooper, Blema was a pioneer, the first Jewish High School teacher in Montreal. She and Abe led very active lives in Cornwall, both within the Beth El Synagogue and in the larger community. After Abe's death she moved back to Montreal. A born teacher, she taught mathematics until she retired, then tutored high school students into her mid 80's. A fine bridge player and willing volunteer of her time and talents, she had a wide circle of friends in Montreal and Toronto, and latterly the residents and staff at the Balmoral Club as well as a very special group of caregivers.
