In Memory of Edythe Kay Marsa

The Parkinson’s Foundation mourns the loss of emeritus board member, Edythe (Edy) Kay Marsa. From 1993 to 2014, she was a member of the Foundation’s board of directors and served on several committees. Edy is survived by her husband William Marsa, who founded the Herbert Kay Parkinson Chapter in honor of her first husband who passed away due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. The chapter is located in Aventura and sponsors exercise classes at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center. The Foundation is grateful for Edy’s longtime commitment to the organization and her contributions to make life better for people with Parkinson’s and their families.
