REGINA Many across the province are remembering long-time philanthropist and champion of the arts, Jacqueline Shumiatcher, who died at the age of 97 earlier this week. “Jacqui was wonderful. Very, very dynamic. Just had a wonderful sense of humour,” said Norman Bercovich, a longtime family friend of the Shumiatcher’s. Shumiatcher was born in 1923 in France. When she was four-years-old, she and her family moved to Regina, Saskatchewan. In 1955, she married Morris Shumiatcher, and the two began supporting artistic organizations around the city. “You can find the Shumiatcher name - Jacqui and (Morris’s) name - throughout the city, at the Globe Theatre, at the Mackenzie Art Gallery, The Shumiatcher Scupture Court and also out at the University,” Bercovich said.
