Marilyn Burstein

Marilyn “Marshie” Burstein reluctantly gave up her battle with breast cancer July 10, 2008. Born August 8, 1930 to Benjamin and Ellen Burstein, Marshie attended North High and graduated from the U of M. She became a leading expert in Jewish books after 20+ years as librarian at the Talmud Torah, while also serving as the Adath Jeshurun librarian for more than 10 years. Her children and grandchildren were her treasures. Her brothers’ antics and their love became folklore. She was a friend and confidant to hundreds. She made a reader of us all. She is survived by her children, Lisa Swaiman (Jim Grossman), Jerrold Swaiman (Barbara), Barbara Swaiman (Mark Franklin) and Dana Hoberman (Bruce); grandchildren, Sarah Grossman, Isaac, Ethan and Danielle Swaiman, Sawyer and Ryan Franklin, and Jordan and Benjamin Hoberman; brothers, deceased brother Sheldon Burstein(Shirley), Stanley Burstein (Ralpha), Larry Burstein (Joni), Marvin Burstein (Fran).
