MARILYN
MARILYN FELDMAN
Marilyn Feldman, 73, died on January 15th, 2022 after a 10-month battle with lymphoma. Wife of Jeffrey Feldman, mother of Lisa and Tracy (John) and the late Cindy (Peter); grandmother of Rachel, Chloe, Brooke, Bella, Ziva, Cole and Remi. She is survived by her sister Norine (Edward) and her brother Robert (Adrian). Marilyn was taken from us way too soon, and although her family will be forever grateful for the time they had her, they are all heartbroken without her.
Marilyn was "the salt of the earth" as the saying goes. A kinder, more welcoming, warm person you could not meet. Her big beautiful smile was only outshined by her large full heart. She entertained on a scale that would give Martha Stewart a run for her money. Marilyn was happiest when her house was full of people and she was setting a magnificent table with exquisite attention to every detail. She was an amazing cook, and could make anyone want to come back for more of whatever she was serving in her kitchen. Marilyn also loved all forms of art. She loved working with clay, painting, making jewelry, knitting and the list goes on. Although many of these hobbies one can do alone, she had such pleasure by sharing these hobbies with her friends and family, especially her grandchildren. Marilyn spent a lot of time at the knit shop and had many, many days of fun and laughter there with her friends.
Friendship was something that provided much sustenance to Marilyn's life. She had friends that became family. Those relationships provided her with more belly laughs than could be counted and rich memories of trips and outings, and they also helped her, her husband and their immediate family through the most painful part of their lives, losing Cindy. She was forever grateful for those deep and meaningful relationships.
Marilyn was a fighter. She never gave up. She was faced with many challenges throughout her life but faced every one of them with resolve, resilience, and bravery. She was a role model for her whole family in how to keep perspective, in how to keep going in the face of tragedy, in how to remain positive, in how to keep evolving and growing throughout your life, and maybe most importantly, how to do all that with grace and dignity.
Nothing meant more to her than family. She had many "children" who were close to her family whom she cared for, thought of and loved very much. Her daughters and grandchildren were the light of her life. There was never a time when she had the opportunity to spend time with any of them that she didn't jump at the chance. She impacted each and every one of their lives in a unique way and that imprint and love they shared will be with each of them forever.
Marilyn's first job was at Block Jewelers in Philadelphia when she was 17 years old. It was there that she befriended Jeff's sister, Sue. Marilyn and Sue became the best of friends and Sue couldn't wait to fix her up with her brother. That matchmaking was certainly a success as she not only had her best friend as a sister in law, but also gained the love and nurturance of the whole Feldman family. Marilyn and Jeffrey were married for 55 wonderful years. She was a loving and devoted wife, supporting Jeffrey as together they built a successful business. Among their most treasured accomplishments, none were more meaningful in both of their eyes than the beautiful and loving family they raised and the wonderful friendships they cultivated.
Marilyn and her husband Jeffrey built a family based on good, old fashioned values. Love and take care of your family, be kind, do the right thing, be thoughtful, and most importantly, appreciate what you have, and always remember each day is a gift. Her legacy will live on in all those she loved.
