We are planning a memorial service for the unveiling of Marian Garfinkel's head stone.
Marian Garfinkel's memorial service has been canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of the delta variant.
 
The memorial service will be on August 29th, 2021. This will be a time for many of my mother's friends to get together and properly note her passing. The service will provide my mother's friends a chance to make statements about my mother's life and work. My mother's favorite foods and deserts will be provided.
 
I am also hoping that my friends in the Philadelphia area who knew my mother will come to help mark the day.

My mother Marian S. Garfinkel died on August 28th, 2020.

Funeral

Due to the pandemic, we were only able to have a small graveside service. That ceremony took place at 11:00am on August 30th, 2020, at the Roosevelt Memorial Park. It was performed by Rabbi Jeff Schnitzer.

You can read the eulogy here.

Online Tribute

I have set up a FlipGrid website has been set up where people can post 2-minute videos. The website can use the camera built in to your phone or laptop if you allow it. It works best with Google Chrome.
