Tamara Levine

A funeral service will be held for Tamara Levine who died unexpectedly at the age of 37 on Friday, November 18, 2016.  The service will take place at the Mount Pleasant Visitation Centre, 375 Mount Pleasant Road on Friday, November 25th at 1:30 p.m.. An obituary on the site of the Humphrey Funeral Home says: “Left to mourn are her parents, Carol Cowan (Allan Kaplan), Michael Levine (Donna Orenstein), as well as her quadruplet siblings, Alexis, Peter, Katherine (deceased), older sister, Elizabeth, younger brother, Josh, and a large extended family. Tamara was a brilliant creative force who cared deeply about everyone around her, family, friends and those less fortunate. She travelled the world extensively and worked tirelessly, professionally and voluntarily to make it a better place.”  A 2003 profile of Tamara’s father notes that Peter, Alexis and Tamara were born as quadruplets with one of the babies, Katherine, dying at five-and-a-half months after heart surgery. The obituary says donations may be made to the Levine Quadruplet Endowment (which funds the Levine Family Lectureship in Women and Mental Health), Women’s College Hospital Foundation, www.wchf.ca. Condolences, photographs and memories may be forwarded through the Humphrey site.

  1. Tamara was a brilliant and committed thinker and activist. I was pleased to know her during her time at the Institute of Development Studies. We are very sorry to hear this news and send our sympathies to her network of friends and family.
