Marna’s joys in life were all centered around doing kind things for others. She loved her family and hosted large weekly dinners and holiday meals, making everyone their favorite dishes. After giving up work as a medical technologist, she volunteered to make life better for others. She was a co-founder of US Against MS, a non-profit that provides a day program for Baltimore adults dealing with Multiple Sclerosis. In addition to being on the board and a sponsor, she attended the day program each week and provided hands-on assistance to enable everyone there to participate to the fullest. Among her other volunteer activities, for decades she was a docent at the Jewish Museum of Maryland and was a president of the B’nai Jacob Shaarei Zion Sisterhood. She always made everyone around her, particularly her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, feel supported and loved. She taught by example and her good works will live on in those she touched.
