Ms. Wittstock died in Toronto on April 14 after suffering from dementia
. She leaves three adult children, seven grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Her marriage ended in divorce. She was predeceased by a brother, William Take, and a sister, Deborah Jane Bishop, who died last year.
During her heyday as a showbiz skater, Ms. Wittstock said she was unbothered at having to perform before large audiences even though a single slip could unceremoniously spill her onto the ice. “My mind is a complete blank when I get out there in front of thousands of people who pay money to see me,” she said with typical sang-froid. She scanned the walls of arenas for diversion even as she performed. “I like to read the bills and posters as I skate by.”
