OBITUARY
Marla Richman, age 58 Daughter of the late Burton and Ann Richman, Beloved sister of Robin Richman (Brad Cohn) and Aviva Richman (Bram Duchovnay) Loving aunt of Ayden and Maerav, niece of Elaine Guberman (the late Earl) and the late Norma Schlager, and cousins, Ron Schlager, Dan Schlager, Ilana Maletz (Mark), Ilana Omens (Mark), Joni Geifman (Steve). Marla faced Multiple Sclerosis with wit and humor. She loved to laugh and tease those close to her, and was unafraid to express herself. She had keen powers of observation and was an excellent Rummikub player. When she was younger, she sang opera, and music continued to be an important part of her life (she particularly loved listening and singing to 80s music over the past few years). She had compassion for animals of all kinds and loved her sweet cats. Services Friday, 10 AM at Chicago Jewish Funerals, 8851 Skokie Blvd. (at Niles Center Road), Skokie. Interment Waldheim Cemetery.
