Marilyn H. Zeltt
1935 – 2026
Marilyn H. Zeltt, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and devoted wife, of Boca Raton, Florida passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, on October 3, 2026.
Born and raised in Trenton, New Jersey, Marilyn brought warmth and grace to every place she called home. She moved to Yardley and later Newtown, Pennsylvania, where she and her beloved late husband Harold raised their family with love and devotion. Together, they established a cherished home in Boca Raton, Florida in 1979. Marilyn was the youngest daughter of Harry and Sadye Smith, from whom she inherited her generous spirit and dedication to family.
Marilyn had a generous heart and gave selflessly to her community. For many years, she volunteered her time at Greenwood House Home for the Jewish Aged, the Deborah Heart & Lung Center, and Meals on Wheels, where she found joy in serving others and making a difference in the lives of those in need.
While raising a family and partnering with Harold in numerous business ventures and travel adventures, she embraced life with passion and energy. She was an avid tennis player for fifty years and a focused golfer during her time at Greenacres Country Club and the Yacht & Racquet Club of Boca Raton. Marilyn was also a master card and tile player, with exceptional skills in canasta, bridge and mahjong that made her a formidable and beloved partner at the table.
Marilyn was predeceased by her beloved parents, Harry and Sadye Smith, and her dear sister Bernice Kantor (Harry), who will forever hold a place in her heart.
Marilyn was blessed with a beautiful and storied marriage of 66 years—70 years together—with her devoted husband Harold, the love of her life. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her three beloved children, Andrea Weiss (Randy), Denise Weinberg (James), and Douglas Zeltt (Amy); seven adoring grandchildren—Lauren (Ryan), Stephen (Ashley), Ally (Chase), Matthew (Sarah), Todd, Dara (Sam) and Amanda (Alec); five precious great-grandchildren; Christopher and Jessica; and numerous beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends who will miss her dearly.
Marilyn will be remembered for her impeccable style, her fastidious, museum quality homes and her infamous bouffant. More than anything, she will be remembered for her boundless love, unwavering affection, and deep devotion to her family and friends, which will endure in their hearts forever.
Funeral services are 2:00 p.m. on Monday, October 5, 2026, at Ewing Cemetery, 78 Scotch Road, Ewing, New Jersey 08628.
Family and friends are welcome to join the Zeltt, Weiss and Weinberg families for Shiva following the burial service at the home of Denise and James Weinberg.
