Hank Markowitz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Brighton Memorial Chapel, Inc. on Dec. 20, 2025.
Passed away on December 19, 2025, at the age of 91. Predeceased by his wife, Sheila [Leitman] Markowitz; parents, Benjamin Markowitz and Pauline [Schreiber] Solomon; sister and brother-in-law, Rosalie and Alfred Hutter; and son-in-law, James Noble. Survived by his children, Benjamin (Anna) Markowitz and Carrie Noble; grandchildren, Sean, Emma, Megan and Ashlyn; and nieces, nephews, cousins and a community of dear friends.

Hank worked in IT at IBM for 20 years, and upon retirement worked at Wegmans in Pittsford. Hank was a hopelessly committed husband for 68 years to his loving wife Sheila. Hank was a pet lover and a music enthusiast, and he could be found humming a tune anywhere he went. Hank lived his life filled with joy, and he found great happiness in his last years within the Linden Knolls community.

The family will receive friends on MONDAY December 29, 2025 from 5 – 7 PM at Brighton Memorial Chapel, Inc. (3325 Winton Road South). Please use the funeral home entrance.

Donations may be made to Lollypop Farm or The American Heart Association in Hank's memory.
