Susan Budlovsky

BUDLOVSKY, Susan - Passed peacefully after a brief illness in palliative care at St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto. As a holocaust survivor, she has been officially credited to saving the lives of many women, who, just like her, lost their youth to the concentration camps - Terezin and Auschwitz. The women whose lives she saved were too ill to go on a death march, and were left to dig their own graves on the 31 of January 1945. A fiercely private person, Susan was always there with encouragement and wisdom. Wife to the late Dr. Joseph Budlovsky, she is survived by her two children Michael Budlovsky and his wife Alice, her daughter Margaret and her husband Richard Kardish. Grandchildren David and Daniel and their respective spouses Erin and Romy. She always marveled over the fact that she lived so long as to be a part of the youngest generation of Budlovskys, her great- grandchildren Olivia, Sam and Keaton. Her wish of many years was to die in a clean bed surrounded by her family. Forever Susan will be in our hearts and memories. Services will be held at Benjamin's Park Memorial Chapel, 2401 Steeles Avenue West (3 lights west of Dufferin) on Friday, November 11, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. Interment Temple Emanu El Section of Pardes Shalom Cemetery. Donations would be appreciated to Yad Vashem, 416-785-1333 in support of Susan's wish to never forget.
