Rachelle Mark Memoriam

February 1945 - February 14, 2020 Rachelle Mark, a talented painter with a splendid sense of color and shape, was born in New York, moved to Salt Lake City and then to Los Angeles. Predeceased by husband, Howard Mark and survived by husband, Sidney Soffer; children, Julia (Anthony) Brill, Jeremy (Kat) Mark, Julia Soffer, Bridget Mark; sister, Debra (Chris) Elliott; niece, Claire Norman; grandchildren Ryan, Brandon and Logan; sister-in-law Susan (Larry) Resnick; niece Jodie; nephew Steven (Cathy) and daughter Jaden.

Dear family members and friends of Rachelle: I moved to Puerto Rico two years ago and didnt know until today, when I saw the FB announcement of a show to honor Rachelle that she had passed away. I couldnt believe it! We were both Board members at LAPS. She was Totally devoted to the arts and such a charming, bubbly and enthusiastic woman. I loved chatting with her. She was also a real colorist and her works exuded vibrancy and passion. The world has such a shinning light! My deepest condolences,
Poli Marichal

We were blessed to know Rachelle for only a short time. She was a gentle delicate soul who was inspirational in sharing the beauty of life. We are fortunate to have received a beautiful piece of her art work which we will treasure always. This will always be a reminder of her beautiful spirit. With deepest sympathy, Gloria and Tom

Shelly was my half sister (father) and reached out to me in my early 20s. A sweet and loving woman ., and only wished we had been able to have more time together. I'm sad to hear of her passing .
