Our good friend and long-time Henry George School of Chicago board member and librarian Irene Marmi has died. She died on May 5, 2025.
She was a delightful woman who had taken care of a number of elderly women until she herself was no longer able to do that work as her own health had deteriorated. She was also a friend of Bill Wendt’s and helped him during the last years of his life. She was always empathetic, and had an easy manner in talking to people she simply encountered during the ordinary course of life. She introduced any number of people to Georgism, who then attended the School’s presentations or took classes. Irene will also be remembered as a feral cat activist.
We should all have a kind and caring friend like Irene.
