Marjorie Anne Zeleznik

With great sadness, we announce the loss of our mother, Marjorie Anne Zeleznik (née Kopcsik). Born in Detroit, Michigan, she passed away peacefully at her home in Rocky River, Ohio. She was 86 years old.

Marjorie was married to NASA physicist, Frank J. Zeleznik, for 50 years before his passing in 2009.

A graduate of Mt. Carmel Mercy School of Nursing in Detroit and Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve, Marjorie also completed her Masters degree in Education at Cleveland State University. Her career spanned 33 years and included nursing positions at Fairview General Hospital and St. Vincent Charity Hospital. Her St. Vincent career evolved when she became a clinical nursing instructor at the School of Nursing and later became the Director of the Continuing Medical Education program.

One of Rocky River Senior Center's Volunteers of the Year, Marjorie was known for her community involvement. She was active in the following organizations and held numerous leadership positions: Red Cross of Rocky River, Christ Child Society, Rocky River Community Emergency Response Team, College Club West, Beachcliff Women's Club, Three Arts Club of Lakewood, Women's Committee of the Rocky River Public Library and the Rocky River Historical Society.

In addition to ourselves, Marjorie is survived by Nancy's husband, Phong, and her grandchildren, Kevin and Michael. She is also preceded in death by our sister, Judith.

Warmly,

Nancy & Susan
