Deepest Sympathy- Marilyn K. Glick (1922-2012)
One of Indiana's most generous philanthropists, Marilyn Koffman Glick, a 1940 Shortridge alumna, passed away in mid March. She was 90. The Central Indiana landscape is filled with the legacy of both Mr. and Mrs.Eugene B. Glick from their direct involvement with numerous privately held real estate development firms and leadership roles in civic organizations. Their partnership coincided with the greatest housing boom in U.S. history when they founded the Gene B. Glick Company, and by 1962, the company was the largest builder of single family homes in Indiana. During that same year, the company began developing apartment communities, which would become its sole focus in later years. From their efforts, they funded civic projects and charitable organizations throughout Central Indiana; in 1982 they established the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Family Foundation, one of the largest private foundations in the state. They also established the Glick Fund of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, the Indianapolis Cultural Trail, the Indiana Authors Award, and a wide array of charitable projects benefiting the arts, education, public health, and aid organizations throughout Central Indiana, and The Glick Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Indianapolis. Her contributions to the arts community were recognized by Governor Evan Bayh, who appointed her to the Indiana Arts Commission in 1990. She received the Sagamore of the Wabash honor from Governor Frank O'Bannon in 1997, and she and her husband also received the Indiana Governor's Arts Award in 2003. "She made substantial personal leadership contributions to the Indiana State Symphony Society and its Young Audiences program, and she founded People of Vision in 1981 to support Prevent Blindness Indiana. "This dedication to eye health culminated in the Glicks' largest philanthropic grant, a $30 million gift to the Indiana University School of Medicine for the construction of its new Glick Eye Institute.She hoped that the Eye Institute would become a national center of research and development of new treatments to restore and preserve vision." She is survived by her husband, Eugene B. Glick, and their four daughters, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. --Excerpts taken from Indianapolis Star/obituaries 3/24/2012 |
