ELEANOR MARKS (née GUTKIN)

We mourn the loss of Eleanor Marks (née Gutkin), who died peacefully at the age of 97. Born in Winnipeg in 1925, Eleanor grew up in Canada and moved to the U.S. shortly after she married her husband, Sam Posner, who had returned to Winnipeg from WWII as a war hero and recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross from the Royal Canadian Air Force. Sadly, Sam died at the young age of 37 after a long illness, leaving Eleanor with a young daughter. Through perseverance and a strong will, Eleanor was able to build a life for herself and daughter in California, ultimately rising to be the controller of a real estate investment company. She remarried in the early 1960s to Bernard Marks, who predeceased her. Eleanor is predeceased by her sister Rose, and brothers Max, Nathan, and her twin, Jack. She is survived by her daughter, Cydney, and many nieces, nephews and grand nieces and nephews. A wonderful friend, wife, mother and aunt, she will be missed by all who knew her.

Marilyn was born in Winnipeg, and grew up in the North End. Marilyn shared a home full of love and Jewish Traditions. She was a warm, kind & gentle person with a strong will & spirit that touched the lives of those who knew her. She was challenged with cerebral palsy at birth which stole her dream of becoming a nurse, however she was able to live independently on her own.
Marilyn was willing to try many things in life and her greatest joy was when she discovered the benefit of tai chi and through her 15 years of practice she became an “assistant instructor for beginners”. We were all so proud when Marilyn passed the St. John’s Ambulance First Aid Emergency Course and in 2006 was awarded the “MLA Red River Award” for the volunteer work performed at the Gwen Secter Creative Living Centre.
Since 2011, Marilyn found joy in helping the staff at the Saul & Claribel Simkin Center where she had resided and emerged as the “Resident Artist”. A special thanks to the staff at Weinberg 3 at the Simkin Centre who showed their kindness & compassion to Marilyn over the years.
