My Aunt Margie (Newman) Katzeff passed away today, April 15, 2016.
Sweet, graceful, kind, ever youthful. As someone who spent summers in West Virginia with the Katzeff family when I was a child and through my interactions with Aunt Margie up until I was in my early 30s I didn't realize how strong she was. In fact, she seemed to be rather delicate, a beautiful and gentle flower who was a good mother, but not a disciplinarian - Uncle Joe (Aunt Margie's husband) took on that role. When Aunt Margie's youngest son Bruce died of cancer at 26 I discovered that my beloved aunt was far more resilient than I could have imagined
