Frances Markowitz Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 23, 2025.
Port St. Lucie - Frances was predeceased by her husband, Marvin, and leaves behind a son, Mark Markowitz, and his wife Cindy, and a daughter, Debra Markowitz and her husband, John Marean, grandchildren Aaron and Casey Markowitz and her husband, Leon Cummings, and Sarah Klima, and grandson, Cameron Klima.

Frances met Marvin at the age of 15 and lost him when she was 87.

Coming from a family of eleven sisters, she learned to stand out by being a strong presence.

She laughed more, spoke louder, and could bring you into the fold with a hug and an incredible meal. She brought trays of veal parmigiana to her son's Boy Scout camp and special mailed her veal scaloppini to Yogi Berra and his wife, Carmen.

She loved sports and gambling, and at 7:00 PM you didn't call because she was watching her shows.

She was stubborn, and effervescent and generous and memorable.

She's leaves a void in the lives of many and is a spirit who won't easily be forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center in Frances Markowitz's memory, 8 Yogi Berra Drive, Little Falls, NJ 07424.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
