Marcia Kolber Obituary

KOLBER, MARCIA 1928-2017 Marcia Hackner Kolber passed away peacefully on Friday November 3,2017 after a brief illness. Marcia will be remembered for her beautiful smile, her zest for life, her endless energy and her devotion to her husband, Stanley of 68 years. Marcia loved living at the Independent Gables Palace for the past 4 1/2 years. Marcia danced her way thru life and even won the Gables Palace "Dancing with the Stars" just this past July. For more than 60 years she was blessed to have wonderful friends and some would meet weekly for lunch and talk! Marcia's life was about service and she volunteered at Baptist Hospital and Miami Jewish Home for the Aged where she was honored as Volunteer of the Year. A Chicago native, Marcia moved to Miami with her parents in 1949 and went on a blind date with Stanley which began their 68 year romance. Her greatest joy was her 3 wonderful children, her 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, her nephew Cliff Kolber (Doris) and niece Joan Bonello (Dave) and their families. Marcia is survived by her husband, Stanley, her children Abby (David) Ross, Daniel (Lesley) Kolber and Jody (Dario) Arenella; her grandchildren: Natalie (Jeannette) Ross, Jason (Lana) Ross and Blake (Paty) Ross, Lee (Allison) Kolber, Sarah, Mark, Robert, Monica and her great grand-children Drew and Evie.

I have such fond memories of Marcia and especially her aprons she made for all the girls in the Lipinsky family. I think I still have the one she made for my mom with her name on it. It is hanging in my apron closet and I don't want to wear it but keep it there as a fond memory of both Helaine and Marcia.
