MARILYN PERL
December 24, 1956 – December 16, 2021
After a courageous battle with cancer, Marilyn Perl (nee Bricker) passed away peacefully on December 16, 2021.
She was 64 years old. Marilyn was predeceased by her parents, Irving and Lucille Bricker; grandmother, Teibel Binder; and in-laws, Mendel and Esther Perl. She is deeply mourned by her husband, Michael; children, Eytan and Aviya; grandson, Jacob Novek-Perl; daughter-in-law Sheila Novek; brother and sister-in-law, Martin and Debby Bricker; and nephew and niece, David and Ivy Bricker.
Marilyn was born in Winnipeg on December 24, 1956. She attended Talmud Torah School, Edmund Partridge and West Kildonan Collegiate. She also attended the University of Manitoba, where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree. Marilyn joined the family business, Winnipeg Drapery, with her parents and brother, which her and Martin carried on running successfully together after her parents' death. She inherited a strong work ethic and talent for manufacturing from her father, and loved her work making custom drapes for homes and businesses throughout the city.
Marilyn is fondly remembered for her warmth, her smile, her friendliness, and her genuine care and concern for others. She loved cooking and baking for her family, and will always be remembered for her Shabbat dinners, which usually featured multiple desserts. Marilyn loved welcoming her children's friends into her home as if they were her own, and especially loved spending time with her best friends, Bonnie, Leslie, and Sandy. Above all, she had a deep and unwavering love of her family; especially her grandson Jacob, who was the apple of her eye.
Thank you to Dr. John Mayba for his excellent care throughout the years, and to Drs. Kidane, Maksymiuk, Kristjanson, and Anderson, and the staffs at CancerCare and the Palliative Care Program for their devoted care throughout her battle with cancer. Our deepest gratitude to Rabbi Leibl, who held a graveside service on December 17 at Shaarey Zedek Cemetery. Pallbearers were Steven Bernstein, David Bricker, Adam and Seth Nepon, Daniel Palitsky, and Mark Shuster.
Due to Covid restrictions, private shivas were observed by the family.

I just reconnected with Marilyn not that long ago after too many years. We were on Facebook book and a cooking site together. I am so sorry for your loss Michael and family. Marilyn was a wonderful friend to all that knew her. She will be missed by all. My first plane ride and trip to Vegas and LA was with Marilyn. Memories I will continue to cherish. Martin I will cherish the time we all went to Hawaii together. May her memory be a blessing. - Posted by: Wendy Mallin Rogerville (Friend) on: Feb 12, 2022

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Marilyn’s passing. I attended the U of M with Marilyn, her family made all of our drapes, which are still very much standing, and lived down the street from her family. Although I have not lived in Winnipeg for over 40 years, I have fond memories. My condolences to her family. - Posted by: Aubrey Rogerville (Friend) on: Feb 05, 2022

I am a long time friend of Michael’s. I did not know Marilyn personally but I knew of her. She was an accomplished and successful business woman and a wonderful mother and wife. When Michael spoke of her I could hear the pride in his words and the emotion in his voice that told me that Marilyn was his great love. Michael takes solace in the thought that their two wonderful children, whom he loves and cherishes, are here with him. May Marilyn’s memory be a blessing. - Posted by: Joe Dutkevich (Friend) on: Jan 30, 2022
