Marilyn Slesinger Hartman

Miriam bas Moshe v Chana 

Marilyn Slesinger Hartman, age 83, of Atlanta, passed away peacefully on May 3, 2025.

Marilyn was born on August 27, 1941, in Bishopville, South Carolina, to Morris and Anna Michalove Slesinger. The youngest of four siblings, she spent much of her childhood in Bishopville before moving to Atlanta with her mother to join her sister Yvonne in the late 1950s.

In the early 1970s, Marilyn met the love of her life, William C. Hartman, and the two married in the early 1980s. She worked part-time alongside Bill in his trucking company, but her greatest joy was spending time with her beloved mother, Anna. Marilyn was known for her straightforward nature, her love of music, her skill at card games, and the cherished hours she spent learning to make homemade bagels with her mother.

She was preceded in death by her husband, William C. Hartman; her sisters: Yvonne Slesinger Tillem (Jerry) and Rita Slesinger-Goldstein; her brother, Paul Slesinger (Phyllis); and her nephew, Maurice Goldstein, all of blessed memory.

Marilyn is survived by her loving nieces and nephews: Wendi Tillem (Lloyd Wynn) and Michelle Tillem-Sims (Chris), and children, Arden and Ethan Frank, all of Atlanta; Harriott Slesinger and Jerold Slesinger of Charleston, SC; Sandy Bond & Joan Michelle of Locust Grove, GA.

A graveside service will be held on Monday, May 5, 2025 at 3:00 pm , at Arlington Memorial Park, with Rabbi Joshua Heller officiating. Shiva will follow immediately at the home of Wendi and Lloyd, 4515 Jettridge Drive NW, Atlanta.  Shiva will end at 6:30 pm.  

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Congregation B’nai Torah, Safe Haven Assisted Living (safehavenpch.com), or Camp Barney Medintz.
