WEIL, Miriam Rebecca (Warso) Age 68, died on March 5, 2026, surrounded by her husband, daughters and love.
Beloved wife of 43 years to David, loving mother of Rachel (Brian Howell) and Lani (Alanna) Weil. Adored Bubbe of Izzy and Naomi Weil-Howell. Dear sister of David Warso (Brooke) and the late Howard Warso & his surviving wife Susan. Cherished daughter of the late Irving & Avis (Simon) Warso and daughter-in-law of Nancy Weil & the late Jerry Weil. She is also survived by sisters and brothers-in-law, cousins, nephews, nieces and faithful pooch Ginger.
Her love and devotion to her family was the foundation of her life. Born in Chicagoland and a lifelong Cubs fan, she deferred college for a year to live and work on Kibbutz Grofit. She later started college in Michigan and ultimately landed in Los Angeles, where she met David. They moved together to Boston where she lived for the next 40 years. Professionally, Miriam stayed anchored to a single purpose: protecting the health of communities and the ecosystems that sustain them. Her academic work included a Doctor of Science in Work Environment Policy from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell; a Master of Public Health from Boston University, and a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Geography from UCLA. Her studies allowed her to pursue a career first in environmental science and later in occupational health and safety, including 12 years at the Environmental Health & Safety program at Boston Children’s Hospital. She served for decades in local civic and environmental stewardship roles, including as Chair and member of the Belmont Conservation Commission; Chair of the American Public Health Association’s Occupational Health and Safety section and leadership roles at Beth-El Temple Center in Belmont. She will be deeply missed by all whose lives were touched by her.
Services will be held at the Beth El Temple Center, 2 Concord Ave., Belmont on Monday, March 9, 2026 at 10am with livestream viewing available using the following link: www.tinyurl.com/MiriamWeil. Burial will be private. Shiva begins on Monday and continues through Wednesday from 7-9pm each day at the Weil family home.
