Obituary of Marilyn C. Majchrzak
Marilyn Catherine Majchrzak passed peacefully into the hands of the Lord on February 24, 2020, in Miami FL. Marilyn was born in Niagara Falls on February 2, 1949 to Jessie (Niedzwiecki) and Stanley Majchrzak. Marilyn grew up in the warmth of the local Polish community filled with cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends, and imbued with devotion to the Catholic Faith. After attending local Catholic schools, Marilyn received Dietetics and Nutrition degrees at Rosary Hill College and Penn State. She moved to Tucson AZ to begin her first job, providing nutrition services to young families through the WIC program. This began a lifelong career devoted to helping people understand the value that healthy and real food plays in human health and wellness. Marilyn felt incredibly blessed and fulfilled in her work, which ranged from developing nutrition programs for people with disabilities, to improving the nutritional quality of canned meat products at Armour foods, to running the nutrition program at Canyon Ranch's Tucson and other locations. She retired from Canyon Ranch in 2017 after 28 years, and spent the last three years dividing her time between her home in Tucson, visiting and traveling with friends or family, and the Miami home of her cousin Linda and husband Gary Keller. Marilyn loved traveling, gardening, international culinary adventures and her contemplative prayer practice. But most of all she loved her people: the extended family and numerous dear friends with whom she was honored and grateful to share her life, her gentle spirit, and her love of food. Those whose lives she has enriched are many, and include 14 surviving cousins, including Carol Haseley; Bob Wojton; Laurie (Ken) Albrecht; Pat and Dick Gilbert; Linda (Gary) Keller; and Maryanne Carson; many nieces and nephews; and a small village of cherished friends, among them Cindi & Rich Ervin, Gypsy & David Lyle, Marguerite Edwards, Laura Keen, and Nancy Comer. A Celebration of Life Mass will be held at Divine Mercy Church at 10am on September 12, 2020, Father Jacek Mazur officiating. Interment will be at Holy Trinity Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to ZAJAC FUNERAL HOME INC. Visit zajacfuneralhomeinc.com for online condolences. Marilyn's family wishes to thank the staff at UM Sylvester for their excellent and wonderfully compassionate care, and most especially to express Marilyn's gratitude to Dr. Peter Hosein, who -Marilyn was convinced- is an angel dressed in a white coat and wearing colorful socks.
