Marilyn Weiner Obituary
Marilyn Frances Weiner, born on September 18, 1937, passed away peacefully on November 20, 2021. She was 84 years young. Born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, Marilyn was a proud University of Connecticut Husky. After graduating from UConn in 1959, Marilyn married her college sweetheart, Peter, with whom she enjoyed 60 years of marriage.
Marilyn dedicated her career to helping others– both as a social worker and as a community liaison. Over the years, Marilyn met, advocated and/or worked for politicians like John Glenn, Tip O'Neill, Dennis Eckert, Lou Stokes and Sherrod Brown. She was very active in B'Nai B'rith and The Anti-Defamation League (ADL). After retiring, Marilyn furthered her mission of advocating for others through her volunteer work. To add to her long list of accomplishments, Marilyn was a cancer survivor and published author.
In her free time, Marilyn enjoyed dominating the elderly in bingo and mahjong, wearing the flashiest jewelry she could find and purple from head to toe (literally– she had purple sparkles in her hair), singing "You Are My Sunshine" to her beloved grandchildren, and reminiscing on her fondest memories, including meeting and corresponding with Eleanor Roosevelt.
Marilyn is survived by sons Brad (Amy) and Phil (Jill) Weiner, grandchildren Megan, Alex (Mandy), Brooke, Marissa, Camryn, Dalton and Cole, brother Howard (Arlene), sister-in-law Mona, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. Marilyn was preceded in death by her husband Peter, sister Harriet, and brother-in-law Michael.
Family and friends are invited to attend funeral services at Congregation Shara Torah Cemetery, 50 Farwell Street, West Haven, CT 06516 on Sunday morning, November 28, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. to celebrate the extraordinary life of Marilyn. Contributions are suggested to the Anti-Defamation League. The Robert E. Shure & Son Funeral Home New Haven is in care of Arrangements.

Marilyn was a force of nature. She was a tireless advocate for those in need. I worked with her for more then a decade. All who knew her loved her.

We have known Marilyn for over fifty years through Bnai Brith Women. What a gracious and enthusiastic woman who knew and loved many throughout her lifetime. It was privilege to see Marilyn before she left Menorah Park and she still had her spunk and memory.
She will be truly missed.
Condolences to Brad, Phil and all the grandchildren.

Marilyn always saw the best in those she loved and willed them to become that, despite their errant inclinations. Amazingly, it worked. She was the embodiment of love for her family, past and present. I will miss her always, especially during the holidays over whose gatherings she brilliantly presided and shared with my family.
