Margot Segall Blank
Sunday, October 3rd, 1926 - Saturday, August 1st, 2020
Dr. Margot Segall Blank passed away at the age of 93. Dr. Blank will be missed by her sons, Dan and Steve, Rebecca Slisz (Steve’s wife), and grandchildren Jordan and Chelsea Blank, and Brittany, Josh and Amber Marcus-Blank, her former daughter-in-law Dr. Bess Marcus, and many others her life had touched.
Margot was born in Berlin and was an aspiring gymnast. She experienced Kristallnacht and was banned from representing Germany at an international competition before fleeing with her parents to Sydney, Australia, in 1939. There, she immersed herself in her studies, eventually earning her M.D., while participating actively in the Zionist youth movement and Israeli folk dancing. Later moves brought her to England, Israel, South Africa, and back to Australia, before immigrating to the U.S. with her late husband Hans “John” Blank in the 1950s. They raised their family in New York and Brookline, where she practiced Pediatrics and then Endocrinology at many major hospitals, along with teaching as a Fellow at Harvard Medical School.
Private graveside services were held due to COVID restrictions.
