It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Myrna Franzblau, age 87, on April 23, 2025. A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Myrna was married to Carl Franzblau, and together they built a life full of love and laughter. She was the devoted mother of William Franzblau and Debra Fisher, and Rachel and Scott Weiss, and the proud grandmother of five cherished grandchildren (Andrew, Sarah, Zachary, Ethan, and Stephanie). Her family was the center of her world, and her love and support shaped their lives in countless ways.
Born with a passion for learning and nurturing others, Myrna dedicated her career to teaching. As an educator, she touched the lives of many students with her warmth, patience, and wisdom. Outside the classroom, she found joy in painting and spending time on the golf course, where her creative spirit and competitive edge both found room to shine.
She was known by all for her sharp sense of humor, unwavering loyalty, and strong will. These traits made her a pillar of strength to her family and a trusted friend to many. Her presence lit up every room, and her laughter was both unmistakable and unforgettable.
A funeral will be held on Sunday, April 27, 2025 at Temple Reyim 1860 Washington Street, Newton MA, at 11:30 AM. All who knew and loved her are welcome to attend and celebrate her remarkable life. Following interment at the Beth El Cemetery, 776 Baker St., West Roxbury, MA, family and friends are invited to the Clubhouse at the Gables 407 Dedham St., Newton, MA until 4 pm. Memorial observance will continue at the Franzblau home that evening, 7-9 pm, Monday and Tuesday, 1-3 pm and 7-9 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made to the Myrna and Carl Franzblau Fellowship Fund at Boston University School of Medicine.
