I was so saddened to hear this news. Our 4 children graduated from the
Hebrew Day School, and under her guidance they had the best education
imaginable -- both Judaic & secular. The values instilled by Marlene and
her wonderful staff live on. She was an awesome example of all the best
that Jewish education has to offer.
Fondly and sadly,

Dear Friends and Colleagues,
This is to convey the sad news that former AJL member Marlene Gitelman
passed away Monday evening.
For those of us who knew Marlene, who retired a few years ago, we were
so fortunate to have had her as a highly valued member of the Judaica
Unit in the Graduate Library of the University of Michigan. Marlene
began working in the Library's Near East Division in 2000. She was a
Judaica cataloger concentrating on Hebrew and Yiddish and also assisted
me with collection development. She was meticulous in everything she
did.
Anyone who had the fortune to know, and especially work with, Marlene
couldn't help but notice her infectious smile, good humor, quiet
strength, and, of course, her skills, experience, and expertise. We
couldn't have asked for a better, more pleasant, patient, and harder
working colleague than she was.
Before coming to U-M, Marlene was the founder and head of the Hebrew
Day School at the Jewish Community Center in Ann Arbor where she worked
for 18 years. She will be sorely missed.
As a long time friend of Marlene's so aptly and beautifully stated,
"May her dedication to our community be an inspiration for us." May
her memory be for a blessing.
