Biographical history
Connie Abramovitch, (b.1929) lifelong library member, has been volunteering at the JPL for over twenty years. What originally began as a joint mission with her late husband Syd, Connie continues to pick up and deliver library books to frail and housebound members. Without her services, many library patrons would otherwise be isolated. Connie is described as a role-model at the Cummings Centre, participating in Cardio-Balance and Aerobic classes four times a week and volunteering in the registration area. Frequently attending a variety of lectures and social groups, Connie is deeply ingrained in community life and is a stalwart of the Jewish community campus.
Connie’s watercolor painting, a passion that began in 2000, sheds light into the artistic side of this philanthropically minded woman. The works document her travels around Montreal and its environs, as well Connie’s attention to minuscule, serene moments.
