Born in Evanston, IL Marla attended Noyes Elementary, Haven Middle School and finally Graduated from Evanston Township High School with her class 1977. She spent a majority of her life working in the world of banking, but spent the last few years working alongside her warm spirit. She had an immense love for music, Jazz, and R&B and soul, and had a vast record collection that proved it. A single mom, she was a strong woman with a competitive spirit, always looking to win at games played with family on holidays (which wouldn’t be complete without her 7 layer salad). Her culinary and creative talents were her gift to family as she always seemed to be the hub of connection, organization family get together a and cooking for everyone who came, especially her sisters! They were theee peas in pod and a strong force to be reckoned with when all together. Marla was a humble woman, someone who would do anything for anyone, always working to serve others and care for everyone in her life the way only a daughter, mother and auntie would know how.
