MARILYN FRIEDMAN Obituary

Friedman, Marilyn Shirley "Nana" (nee Shyer) 85, of Scottsdale, AZ passed away on June 13, 2015. Marilyn was born in Chicago, Illinois and spent most of her life there before moving with her husband to Arizona in 2013. She graduated from the University of Illinois with honors before meeting her beloved and completely devoted husband Bernard. They recently celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Marilyn taught elementary school in the Chicago Public Schools for many years. A passion in life was playing her viola in the Skokie Valley Symphony for an amazing 45 years. She enjoyed life to the fullest every day. Dear mother of Laurie (Michael Weintraub, the son-in-law she adored), and Helene (Dave McDonough); loving grandmother of her two treasures, Isabel and Lily; sister of Arlene (Steve Liberson); aunt, great-aunt, cousin and friend of many. She will be dearly missed and in our hearts forever.
