I am so sorry to hear about this terrible loss.  Marion was such a lovely woman and I enjoyed performing music for in her house a few years ago. She loved art and music.  She will be missed.  My condolences to Harvey and the whole family.

... as a member of the MFA GI community, I will miss her charisma  and sensitivity to all. She cared about you and shared her life stores, allowing you to share yours with her. She will be greatly missed...

I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Katz's passing. She was always so loving and sweet to me. I'm very sorry for your loss. She will be missed. Shanna Gamm Trufan

I remember Marion both fondly and warmly from the old Canton Club. She was always quick to say good morning and had a wonderful presence about her. You could sense that both of her beautiful daughters enjoyed and took pride in their mother's daily workout routine. The world is a lesser place without a quality person like Marion.

I worked with Marion for many years at Cottage St. School. Her smile, patience, and caring for the students she served was always noticeable. She was a very special lady that will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. My condolences to her wonderful family.

Love, Louise O'Brien

I fondly remember all the positive feedback and encouragement Marion shared with me over the years as well as was always grateful for her help at school with the many events she participated in.  May her memory be a blessing.

In honor of a great lady, wonderful grandma, mother and community member

Marion is the wonderful grandmother of two of my former students, (Beatrice and Giselle), and of a current student, (Cole).  A more proud, caring and supportive grandmother, there never has been!  But Marion also  extended that care to the children and young adults within the community, beyond her own immediate family. She would always ask, when she saw me, how my son was doing, with a , "...and how's my boy?" Yes, he was 'her' boy.  She would also inquire of  how my "gorgeous daughter" was doing.  With Marion, these were not just polite questions. I felt as if my children's successes were sincere sources of pride for her. I ALSO felt that any concerns or frustrations my children were giving me, were HER concerns, and yes, I felt comfortable enough sharing those with her as well. Marion would follow this up with sage and practical advice for me. Marion just knew how to make everyone she met feel special and loved.


Marion was the elegant, stately woman  with the wicked sense of 
humor,  and a talent for gracious living, all wrapped up in a wonderful down to earth accessibility. She also possessed a passionate love for life, which always came through in her sharing of her experience as a Holocaust survivor. Sharing that experience was the gift she gave to so many young people in our community, ( my own children included).

I and my family are truly saddened by this loss.  A beautiful soul left us, and our condolences go out to her family---to Harvey, their children and their adored grandchildren.

Sending condolences to your family.  I got to know Marion, when volunteering at the JCC, and Marion was part of the gallery committee.  We shared some wonderful times, as part of the committee.  Marion had this grace about her, a warmth, she always had a smile when we'd run into each other throughout the years, a wonderful lady.  My thoughts and prayers, go out to you, her family, and friends.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Marion Majer Katz. I will miss seeing Marion's smile whenever she would pick up Bryne from school. The joy and love she felt for Bryne was equal to the joy and love Bryne felt for her. I will miss seeing that.It was a beautiful bond that will never be broken.
