OBITUARIES
OF BLESSED MEMORY

50 | JANUARY 20 • 2022

M

arilyn Schechter of
West Bloomfield,
known for
her bright smile and
independent spirit, died on
Jan. 2, 2022. She loved her
family with all her heart,
filled her life with deep and
lasting friendships, and
was an accomplished artist,
continuing to work late into
her life.
Marilyn was the beloved
wife of Neal Schechter for
39 years, until his death in
2007. Together, with their
partners, Larry and Ina
Stevens, they dedicated their
summers and their lives
to running Camp Walden,
providing a safe place for

generations of children to
play and grow.
She grew up on Tracey

and earned a master’s in
fine art from Wayne State

University.
Known as an active
listener with many follow-

always interested in the
latest news in the lives of
her family and friends.
She dressed with flair,
frequently wearing chunky
jewelry and dark lipstick.
Her home was decorated
with modern furniture,
funky collections of baskets,
tiny porcelain shoes and
several pieces by one of her
favorite artists, Alex Katz.
For many years, Marilyn was
also an active volunteer in
the advocacy group WAND
(formerly Women’s Action
for Nuclear Disarmament)

Of the hundreds of art
pieces Marilyn made, she’s
best remembered for an
installation she was chosen
to create, in the ’90s, for
a display window of the
old J.L. Hudson’s store in
Downtown Detroit. Upon
the blank canvas of an
empty space, she designed a
structure of several, 12-foot-
high paneled-walls covered
in thousands of dried,
leathery-brown banana
peels. Her friends and
family fondly recall helping
Marilyn by saving all their
banana peels.
For many years, Marilyn
kept a studio in a warehouse
in Pontiac, where other
