“She was a truly great and 
inspiring lady who was over-
flowing with intelligence, 
with humor and with kind-
ness,” he said.
“Marcia was deeply intuitive 
and read people well,” Rabbi 
Krakoff added. “She was the 
embodiment of sincerity and 
authenticity and as such, she 
held tremendous respect for 
those who conducted them-
selves truthfully and honestly.
“In every way, Marcia lived 
a life of devotion to her beau-
tiful family, her dear friends 
and her beloved community.”

‘SOURCE OF STRENGTH’
“For 56 amazing years, 
Marcia and Gene were always 
by one another’s side,” Rabbi 
Krakoff noted. “They were an 
invaluable source of strength 
and support for each other in 

every way imaginable.
“Gene told me this himself, 
‘Marcia is my guiding light, 
my best friend and the most 
wonderful partner I could 
have ever asked for or wanted 
in life.’ Gene attributed so 
much of his success to Marcia 
and her ability to handle 
whatever came her way.
“They represented, day-in 
and day-out, an inspiring and 
enduring example of utter 
devotion as well as the most 
reciprocal and pure love that 
husband and wife could ever 
have for one another.”
