Tony and I are so sorry to learn this. We have such fond memories of Maralyn at Temple Israel, especially the annual seder. 

I'm sure my parents (Bernice and Irvin Husin) welcomed her with open arms...

Our sincere condolences to Maddy and Barry

Fondly,
Margo Husin and Tony Call

To the Sion family....daughter, granddaughter and husband. I will miss this great lady. I will miss the way she told me that my parents were fabulous ballroom dancers at Temple Israel of Jamaica. I will miss sitting with her when I attended Onegs after Temple Tikvah services. Originally, she was the only person that I knew besides Rabbi Randy and Cantor Guy, besides her devoted daughter. I have fond memories of the end-of-year party that I attended that included a tribute to the four family members, including Barry and their daughter. And she recalled all the situations from the days at TIJ  that included memories of Rabbi Silverman and the circumstances of his departure. She would tell me how she helped Cantor Leo Postrel. What didn't Maralyn know and remember. And I loved telling her the story of how I fooled my best friend, Barry Goldsmith, into believing that Ruth Cooperman and Maralyn were 'secretly' sisters, but didn't want anyone to know, as they never sat together at temple. And then Maralyn told me about the wonderful, but at the same time distressing, story of how Maralyn and Ruth were confused by the photographer at her granddaughter's Bat Mitzvah, and how he took photos of Ruth instead of her. The best thing was not only her memory, kindness and intelligence, but the fact that she could top me on every story that I told her, about anything....except one about Shirley Temple that was true...but only I and two others know. At that point....the next week...she told me how she couldn't get that story out of her head !  Shirley was still alive when I told it to her.  I thought that she would live to be 100. I wanted her here another seven years. With her goes a grace and dignity from my parents' time...and with her go all the fond memories of my parents at temple.  My dad always spoke highly of her. I had forgotten that as he worked on the TIJ Yearbook, and getting donations and ads, she was always there for his efforts and appreciated his work. So this part is for Maralyn herself....  We will all miss you. No Oneg will ever be the same for me without you if we ever have them again.  You were supposed to live forever. I should have told you that the last time we were together in the winter of 2020, before the world 'stopped' for all of us. I will miss you - a class act, always in what seemed like a new outfit, always neat, always sharp. You were everybody's favorite.  I am sorry for Maddy, to be without you, and without Barry...but you were a very good mama. You stayed by your daughter's side for all these years. Rest in Peace. No one has to 'make up' good stories about you. You were an angel, now, you are one. 
From Laurence Lande

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Maralyn. My heart goes out to you as you remember this strong woman who always looked elegant. An amazing woman who was a rock of strength for her family. May you find peace as you look back at her life and all the wonderful memories you shared.
