Marion Koshar Obituary

Koshar - Marion, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2025. Marion was born and raised in New York. In 1953, she met Lou on a blind date. That began a beautiful relationship and a marriage of almost 71 years filled with a lifetime of adventures. They settled in Old Bethpage, NY, and had two children. Marion obtained a master's degree in library science from CW Post. In her librarian career, she worked as a librarian in scholastic, corporate, and non-profit settings. She headed the Technical Services Department at Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library. She greatly enjoyed her career until she retired in 1997. During their retirement, Marion and Lou moved to their vacation home in the Poconos as well as a winter home in Arizona. She enjoyed reading, music, world travel, and dancing. Her smile lit up the room when she was dancing. Marion is survived by her loving husband, Louis;

her son, Richard (Donna); her daughter, Laurie (Philip);

along with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. We miss her deeply. No Service.
