Barbara Marousek passed away very suddenly on Friday 9/21 due to complications after heart surgery. The whole family is devastated by the loss of our mom, the matriarch, the glue that held us all together through thick and thin.

We are passing the proverbial hat here to raise money to help cover the cost of funeral and related expenses for our mom, Barbara Marousek. After a check of our DNA records, we regret to say we are not related to the Rockefellers or the Hearsts, and even basic funeral arrangements are not cheap. If we gotta do it ourselves, then so be it. But if you can find it in your heart to toss a few shekels into the aforementioned proverbial hat to help say goodbye to a kind, loving, silly, stubborn woman, the family would appreciate it.
