Marilyn Sandra Wallerstein

Our Mom. Our Superwoman. Our Forever Hero.

Some heroes wear capes, but ours went by the name of Mom.

Our beautiful mother, Marilyn Sandra Wallerstein, was a true Superwoman in every sense of the word. She was a fighter, a protector, a provider, and the heart and soul of our family. She was the definition of strength, resilience, unconditional love, and just the right amount of sass!

The second youngest of five children and a twin, Marilyn shared a special lifelong bond with her beloved twin sister, Marcia Solomon, who survives her. As a devoted mother of eight children, grandmother to nine grandchildren, great-grandmother to two precious great-grandbabies, and grandma to her beloved grand-fur babies, Marilyn’s greatest joy was her family. She was an extraordinary grandmother and great-grandmother whose love extended through generations. She also maintained a beautiful lifelong friendship with our father, proving that even when life takes people down different paths, family and love can remain forever.

Marilyn dedicated her life to her children. She worked tirelessly to provide for her family and ensure her children always felt loved, supported, and protected. She was our biggest advocate, our fiercest protector, and the one person who would go to battle for any of her children without hesitation. Her dedication, determination, and unconditional love were truly remarkable.

Marilyn lived with courage, confidence, and an unwavering determination to make the most of every day. She taught us the importance of standing up for what we believe in, loving fiercely, and never giving up. And boy, did our mom know how to fight!

But don’t let that strength fool you. Marilyn was one of the sassiest, funniest, most vivacious women you could ever meet. She may have been a tiny little thing, but her personality was larger than life! Her energy filled a room the moment she walked in, and once you met her, you never forgot her. She had a spark that couldn’t be dimmed and a personality that was uniquely, unapologetically Marilyn.

With a heart of gold, Marilyn was fiercely loyal to her family and friends. She loved people, and people loved her right back. Whether you knew her for five minutes or fifty years, she had a way of leaving a lasting impression. Her laughter, spirit, and love for life were contagious.

After years of dedication to her family and her career, Marilyn was finally able to enjoy retirement and embrace the adventures she had always looked forward to. She traveled, explored, made beautiful memories, and enjoyed life to the fullest. And she deserved every single moment of it!

Even in the final chapter of her life, Marilyn showed us that same extraordinary strength, fighting with everything she had. Her courage was remarkable, and we will forever be proud to call her our mom.

Marilyn Sandra Wallerstein was more than an amazing mother. She was a force of nature, a woman with a heart of gold, an unbreakable spirit, and a personality that could never be forgotten.

Mom, you spent your entire life protecting us, loving us, and being our greatest supporter. We hope you knew just how deeply you were loved and how grateful we will forever be for everything you gave us.

You don’t have to fight anymore, Mommy. You don’t have to be strong anymore. It’s finally your turn to rest.

Your cape may be laid down, but your legacy will live on forever.

We love you, Mommy. Forever our hero. Forever our Superwoman. Forever our Mom. ❤️
