I was recently looking over the list of trainees who worked in my laboratory at Columbia University, including Marilyn. My heartfelt condolences go to Marilyn's family, especially her children. Marilyn was a pre-bac in the Kitajewski lab in our "early days" - 1995-96. I was impressed with her focus, positive attitude, dedication, and all around pleasant aspect. She is missed.

The sweet Dr. Sibery, how do I begin to honor you? I was lucky to share many clients with Marilyn and this is how we were introduced. While coordinating care, there was an ease and connection, like I had always known her. It’s hard to articulate the impact she had on my life in such a short amount of time but I promise, it was great.
When first visiting her home with my dog and more than energetic son, her daughter Kate instantly brought him in the pool so Marilyn and I could have time together. Her son Jack would pop by and make us laugh while Marilyn described Reese to me and showed me the awesome vegetable garden Rick constructed during quarantine. I later met Reese and admired her culinary skills as she created her own flavored seltzer for us to try. I sat in awe of the beautiful family they had created, which was such a reflection of her impact as a mother. Her children are self-sufficient, funny, talented, smart, but most importantly, kind.
When I’m feeling despair from the grief and anger that she was taken too soon, I only find relief knowing that Marilyn is living on in them. She laid the emotional foundation, connection, and love, something that death can not steal. I reminded her of that often and this would give her comfort because she knew it was true.
To Rick - Im sending so much love your way.
To Kate, Jack, and Reese - I’m always here for you and please know, your badass mother resides in you.
❤️

Marilyn was one of the first people I met in Pelham. Our families immediately became friends and I’m so lucky that Marilyn was in my life. She was an amazing person who loved her family and loved life. I’ll truly miss Marilyn.

Since I couldn't share this today during the service due to zoom limitations, I thought I'd share what I had wanted to say in honor of Marilyn here:
I wish I could be there with you all today, but I know Marilyn would understand why I can’t since it is due to both my job as a physician and my family. Two things that I know were most important to Marilyn as well.
Marilyn and I met at the beginning of medical school and from our first conversation I felt like I had known her my whole life. She became my best friend, and we practically lived together during medical school since both of our husbands were lawyers who had to be gone a lot for their jobs, and Dave and I lived just a few flights up from her and Rick.
And although I have so many memories of Marilyn that I hope will eventually provide me comfort as I mourn her loss, there’s only one I want to share today.
My mom died of stomach cancer when I was 13 years old. And when I entered medical school the pain of this was still very raw. Marilyn was the first person, besides my sister, that I felt I could really open up to about that experience and the remaining anger and sadness. She helped me work through it, made me feel loved and accepted, and I know I am a stronger person, better able to feel happiness because of her.
Sadly, now it is my turn to be there for her. Kate, Reese, Jack and Rick, I know your pain and I know there’s nothing I can say to make it hurt any less today. But as time marches on, which I remember was so shocking to me that it did not stop when my mom died, I want you to know you are family to me, like Marilyn, your mom was, and family does whatever they need to take care of each. Even though I am across the country, I am here for you.

About 7 years ago I had the privilege of meeting Miss Marilyn when I started working for her and family from the beginning I saw that she was kind and respectful . Over the years, our friendship grew closer , I was able to share long talks in which she always expressed her love and concern for her family, even in spite of her health she wanted the kids to continue moving forward .Miss Marylin was a fighter and positive person, with a noble heart who liked to help people, including me, she listened and advised me in difficult times , I will always remember her smile, her words and what I learned through her ... for me she was like family and I will keep her present in my heart until the day I close my eyes and we can meet again. God bring comfort to all that love her. I’ll mis her very much.

Marilyn loved nothing more than family vacations. We enjoyed many of these special times with Marilyn and the Siberys. Happy to share a few great vacation memories.
Marilyn was an amazing, caring, loving person, and we miss her very much.

Marilyn was so important to me back in high school and after. We had such a strong bond and I will always treasure the time spent with her. We went through so much together - friends, music, prom, graduation, working at the beach, California, heartbreak, happiness, college visits, Rick, and more. I wish we had gotten together more recently. One day, when we get together again, it will be just like old times.

I am deeply saddened by this news. While I hadn’t been in touch w Marilyn for years, I have such amazing memories from our time at Penn. Marilyn was beautiful inside and out. So smart and wise. What a loss.

I met Marilyn during medical school and we were instantly close friends. Here is my favorite photo from that time of us in Central Park, taking a break from studying. She was my sister. I am so thankful for the time we had together, but wish it could've been so much more.
