Marcy Hyman Obituary
A more vibrant, gregarious, generous person would be hard to find. She made a positive difference in every life she touched and she touched many. On the golf course or in the board room she was a force to be reckoned with.
Marcy moved to the desert 24 years ago from Carmel, Calif. Prior to that she lived and worked in San Francisco for many years. Marcy was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Marcy's life's achievements included that of being a teacher, camp counselor, owner of Weight Watchers of Northern California and the Greater Los Angeles Area, TV and radio talk show host, champion golfer, author and philanthropist.
She is survived by her daughter, Joanne Mintz; her son-in-law, Dr. Myron E. Mintz; her grandchildren, Candy and Fabian Moreno, Joslyn and Stephen Mintz. She is also survived by her niece, Susan Applbaum; and her grand niece and nephew, Jennifer and Lee Applbaum; and her great grand nephew, Bennett Applbaum.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 41 years, Seymour; and her dear sister, Trudy Stone.
Funeral services were held in San Francisco.

Marcy was one of my favorite golfing friends up in Northern California and in the Desert. We had so many great days on so many courses. She was generous in every way and lived her life to the fullest. I miss her.
Love, Judi Perego Weisheimer.

Dear Joanne and Family: We read with shock and great sadness of Marcy's recent passing. Marcy and I met in Northern California at a tournament around 1980 and became great golfing buddies, exchanging guest days and playing the game together from that year until she hung up her clubs a year or so ago. I will never forget her wonderful sense of humor, thoughtfulness and generosity. I will miss her friendship dearly. Sincerely Judi and Chuck Weisheimer

To all the family:
I will truly miss Marcy. Her spirit is still with me even though I hadn't seen her in years. I had just tried to call her yesterday to talk about the golf tournament. She was a big inspiration to me.
