Marrin and I became friends at Harris Teeter, and we would always chat briefly when I went through her line. We met again at Fresh Market. One time we ran into each other at a playground with her children and my grandchildren.  I always thought she seemed familiar, but did not find out until a few days ago that she and my daughter, Libby Rowe Hooker,  were friends at Enloe. We even all danced together in a Mother-Daughter dance performance one year.  I was heartbroken to hear that she is no longer with us. She was a brave young woman and worked very hard. She shared some of her life struggles with me, and I hope that I was able to give her some peace and support. I will never forget her smile. I have some lovely photos that my daughter shared with me of their Enloe dance group. My heart goes out to all who loved her. She will be missed by many. - Ellen Betts Clemmer

Thinking of and praying for your family at this difficult time.

I will always remember the Mother-Daughter dance💗

Marrin had the most beautiful and welcoming smile and heart! I am so greatly saddened by her loss! She was a close friend the second she met you! We met at a Christmas party in her old neighborhood years ago and quickly became friends. We carried our first children at the same time and shared the same profession. We took walks together often after she had Manny and had many play dates, story times, shared care, chatted about OT and spent hours upon hours full of laughter. She was always ready to help no matter how busy she was and always ready to meet up to chat!  We unfortunately drifted after her move and our second children but she has always been in my thoughts! I will
miss you dearly friend but will never forget our memories!!!

Mern, as we playfully called Marrin was an absolute lovebug.  She was passionate, silly, deeply sensitive and I am just going to miss her.  Her deep eyes, playful spirit and tenacity have touched my life in ways that are both practical and spiritual.  May the peace that only God can provide be with you during this time. Know that you are loved and held in our hearts.  

Enloe High School were I met Marrin and her family.  We shared some wonderful times together laughing and smiling, not really much crying until our last day of Senior Year when we all headed to different colleges. We were Inseparable.  We shared a love of Dance and had our Senior duet piece to Pretty Women (I think of you every time it plays) and spent all our lunches and weekends we could together.  I am happy we were able to connect back up after college and have chats about life.  

You will always be my Pretty Women. 
Love always AJ, Charlie and Madison Britt 
My condolences to Mama Debbie, Lenny and the Rothstein family.

I was saddened to hear about Marrin's death.  We didn't know eachother very well, but I vividly can picture Marrin laughing and smiling from when we did spend some time together when she was at UNC-Chapel Hill. I recall her telling a story, with great animation and zest, at Hillel.  Wishing her family and friends much comfort. May her memory be a blessing.

Sending my deepest condolences to Marrin and her family. I knew Marrin through Fresh Market, she always had a bright smile on her face and wanted to make us laugh. She always told me that I was going to be so successful  in college and truly wished me the best. I will miss the deep and honest conversations we used to have. I wish we could have had more time together. 

My condolences,

Miss Nia Christmas

Marrin always had the best laugh and smile!  She is one of my dear friends from college at ECU.  I am so grateful for all of my memories with her from college, her wedding day, and becoming new moms around the same time.  Much love to Eric, Manny, Avi, & everyone that was touched by Marrin's joy for life!  

I am so sorry for your loss. I met Marrin at work. We both worked at Freshmarket. And as everyone said she truly had a bright smile. And I always tried to make sure that she smiled more. I gave her a gift for her birthday. It was a stone with I think the word on it. Because I knew she was going through alot. And I wanted to give her something to remind her of who she was. I didn't know her long but we became friends. And I always would try to make her laugh. I wish I could have done more. I hope you are at peace my good friend.... 

I met marrin when she taught me a class at Hillel. she was a good teacher, with a good sense of humor...I remember meeting Manny and avi,   sweetest children.   I wish we could of become friends,   may she rest in peace

Marrin acted like we were long lost friends they day we met ~8 years ago.  She was warm and animated and made me feel at home in an area that wasn't quite home yet.  We'd see each other over the years at kids' events and always pick up where we left off.   My heart goes out to all her family and friends.  May her memory be for a blessing.  

I remember 14 year old Marrin from the neighbor pool days and saw her here and there in the community over the years.  She was so proud of her OT success and of course, of her beautiful daughters.  .  My heart breaks along with yours. I lost a brother 12 years ago - suddenly and without warning.  May you all be spared further sorrow.  Debbie and Sheldon


I am very saddened to hear the passing of Ms. Marrin. She was always very sweet and kind. Working together, at The Fresh Market with her was always very comforting, she showed love and compassion to many, and she truly touched my heart. Her smile and laughter always seemed to be so radiant. She will be greatly missed, not just by me, but also by all the souls that she touched. Her family and close friends have my prayers, and I will keep them in my thoughts. 

With deepest sympathy,

Miss Jordan Christmas

Marrin was a beautiful soul with an infectious smile.  My heart goes out to all of you during this time. May you find peace and comfort in the days ahead. ❤️🙏

I was so saddened to learn of Marrin's passing. Although I have not seen her or truly held a long conversation with her since our senior year, I have always held a special place in my heart for her and wished her the life she dreamed of. 
We were inseparable our senior year, the 4 of us (Aj, Kelly, Marrin, and myself). We spent every lunch together that year knowing we were all going to separate colleges. 
I spent the night at Marrin's and enjoyed the time with her family as well. 
My heart breaks for her children, her sister, and especially her parents. I will always remember your bright smile and your beautiful spark that you imprinted on everyone you touched. I love you Marrin and I wish we had the time back so I could express it to you.

I knew Marrin from the Wellness center. Her smile and laughter was infectious and 💯 could light up a room. It has been many years since I have seen her and I can still hear her laugh. A natural beauty beyond measure. 

Marrin was funny and kind, always. She was willing to help and support clients and coworkers. 

I pray for your peace as her family. The world lost a sparkle with Marrin’s passing. 


We are so saddened to learn of Marrin's passing. We will always remember her beautiful smile, her kind and upbeat personality.  Our heartfelt condolences, may her memory be blessing.

I want to give Marrin’s family my deepest and sincerest condolences.  Marrin and I met in 2010 and were instant friends.  We clicked the very first time we talked.  Marrin was a great friend, listener, cheerleader, & confidant.  She was a genuine person.  I will miss her. She was a bright light in this world.  We are keeping the family in our prayers.  

Rick and I will always remember Marrin as a shining light with a deep love of people and a beautiful soul.  We are so very sorry for your loss.

Glenda and Rick Toppe.

Mary and I just  wanted to let you know how sad we are for your loss. We enjoyed her on our Lowery Ridge get togethers. We also want you to know that we’ve made a donation to feed the hungry in  Raleigh through the holiday season in Marrin’s name and she will be missed.

I was so fortunate to count Marrin among my friends while in high school. We were in modern dance together for several years (thank you Patti and Betsy for these moments). I even got to know Marrin’s lovely mom when we did a mother-daughter dance piece one year. (Those two together were great fun!) I remember the warmth, light, and fun energy that came from Marrin. She was the kind of friend you wanted to have for life. She cheered us up, she made us remember to enjoy each moment, and she was there with a hug when tough times came. My heart hurts for her family, friends, and loved ones. 

Discovering the loss of Marrin leaves the world full of less sparkle and love. All my memories of Marrin have this beautiful warmth I cannot describe that my heart fills just as she had when she walked into a room, she captivated all. My deepest condolences and prayers to her family. The world loss a spectacular soul in Marrin. 

Marrin and I were high school dance class friends. I will always remember her warm heart and bright smile, as well as her kindness and talent. She was a very special person with a knack for making those around her feel good. My heart aches at her loss. May her memory be a blessing.

We are deeply saddened to hear of Marrin’s passing.  Marrin was a neighborhood friend and we are so sorry for your families loss. 

Marrin was a good mom and she loved Manny and Avi so much. I was her mother’s helper for several years and had the privilege of watching her raise her kids. She always had a arts and craft project up her sleeve. She was a fun, creative, supportive mom. I will miss her. My deepest sympathies for Marrin’s family. 


Although I haven’t seen or talked with Marrin in quite some time, I had a profound experience with Marrin during some very difficult times in her life a couple of years ago. And while it was not a lot of time, what I did feel was a deep love for her children and parents, this is where our connection met. 

When she spoke about those people, I could see her light and I could feel her heart, both which were hurting deeply at the time. 

Marrin was a gentle soul and will be greatly missed. Prayers to her sweet babies and family members as they transition to this new way of life without her. 

Our children attended preschool together so would had many interactions, from events, Shabbat services, and at drop-off and pick-up. She had a beautiful soul and an infectious smile. I was terribly saddened by the news of her passing. She was an amazing mom and had so much love for her dear children. My condolences to her family. May her memory be a blessing.

Marrin was warm and lovely...we cannot believe she is gone.  She had a warm friendship with our son Jeff when they were in high school and never failed to greet us when we met and ask about Jeff.  We send our love and deepest sympathy to her parents and loved ones.  May her beautiful memory be for a blessing.

I will always remember Marrin’s smile. She was such a vibrant, warm, engaging person. Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. 🙏

Marrin was one of my Modern Dance students at Enloe Magnet High School and an exceptional student and young lady. She was passionate about dance and was quite the role model for many of her peers. Her smile and zest for life were infectious! Marrin was like a second daughter, as I took her under my wing as a Freshman in high school. She often rode to school with me and my young daughter, Brittany. We enjoyed the many stories she entertained us with;  as well as teaching us a great deal about her Jewish Faith. Marrin loved her family with all her heart. I am so saddened and shocked about her passing at such a young age. My prayers and love go out to all of the family.

My condolences to all of you on the passing of Marrin.  I will always remember a creative, caring and kind person.  She was a beloved JCC counselor and friend to all.   May you all be comforted by her memory..
