LAURA ELIZABETH GROSSMAN
(NEE SCHMALL)
October 18, 1934 - November 12, 2020
Faithful and loving, kind and patient, she was predeceased by husband, Alfred; parents, Phillip and Agathe Schmall; siblings, Harry Schmall and Margaret Glover, brother-in-law, Richard Grossman, sister-in-law, Anne Grossman and parents-in-law, John and Emma Grossman.
Survived by her brothers-in-law, Egon Grossman, and Richard Glover, and sister-in-law, Adeline Schmall, as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins.
She will be forever missed by children, Christine (Eric Hansen), and Paul (Patti Ramage) and five grandchildren, Andrew (Bethany) and Janine Hansen, Katie, Jack and Hayley Grossman.
Mom's childhood memories centered around growing up in Morris in a loving home with parents and siblings whom she adored. It was these memories that sustained her while in care. The focus of Mom's life was faith and family. She met Dad at church in Morris, and they married in 1956. She became a member of Hope Lutheran Church on moving to Winnipeg, serving in a number of capacities including church secretary and treasurer. Mom was an active participant in Lutheran Women's Missionary League where she enjoyed fellowship and put her skills as a knitter and quilter to good use. Mom was devoted to her children and grandchildren and they were the centre of her world. She freely gave of her time to help care for her grandchildren and treasured those moments baking, playing with blocks and making clothes for their dolls.
We hope to have a celebration of Mom's life once the restrictions of the pandemic have eased.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR), the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba, or a charity of your choice.
The family would like to express our appreciation and thanks to Pembina Place Mennonite Personal Care Home, for their loving care of Laura, these last 4 years.

We lived across the road from The Schmalls. Laura was 12 years older than I was so she was like a big sister to me. So many times I pedalled my tricycle over to their place to be rewarded with a cookie (or two). They all have a place in my heart. My condolences to all her family. - Posted by: Jim Vickers (neighbour growing up) on: Nov 15, 2020

Laura was my my mother’s cousin and my Godmother and I absolutely adored her. She always remembered my birthday and I called her every year on hers. She was so proud of me when I finally had my confirmation ceremony at the age of 32 in the Lutheran church where I attended services. Always a smile on her face and a warm hug. I will miss her. My deepest condolences to Christine and Paul and their families. Much love to all of you. Love Suzanne. - Posted by: Suzanne Helmich (Goddaughter ) on: Nov 14, 2020
