This makes me so sad, she was a beautiful person inside and out, another young one gone too soon. Her smile was just as beautiful as she was, rest easy marni

Marni was like a sister to me. So many memories from skiing in Snowmass, Colorado as little girls and playing with slime. Even though we did not see each other that often, whenever we were together as families, she always had a genuine interest in how we all were! She shared a birthday with Hannah and that was another very special thing.
I will always remember how loving she was and genuinely a joy to be around.
We will love you forever Marni

Marni was my camper at Camp Interlaken (for 1 or 2, possibly 3, summers!) in the mid-1980's. She was a bright light in the cabin and camp community, always infusing her positive energy and contagious enthusiasm. Thanks to Facebook, we stayed in touch afterwards. I was thrilled to virtually witness her marriage and birth of her two beautiful sons. How can this light be gone. Marni left a lasting, bright impression on all who knew her. She overflowed love. May the memory of beautiful, kind, fun, and brilliant Marni continue to bless all who loved her, always. Sending love and strength from Palo Alto, California, Becky Eisenberg

It was an honor to have met Marni at UChicago Hospital. Her passion for life was so strong even while she was so weak. It was clear she loved her family more than anything in the world.
May her memory be a blessing to her children and her family.
