Obituary of Mitzi Gaynor

Mitzi Gaynor

Ms. Mitzi Gaynor (born September 4th, 1931 as "Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber") died sadly in a lovely senior's residence on September 11th, 2025 (TBV) with her nurse nearby. Her cause of death was reportedly diabetes. She was 94 years old when she passed.

Mitzi is predeceased by her parents, Pauline Fisher and Henry von Gerber, beloved husband Jack Bean, and her stepbrother Donald W. Duncan

Professionally, Mitzi was a Film Actress who was best known for her role in the 1958 film, "South Pacific" and the film "There's No Business Like Show Business".

When she was not working as a Film Actress, Mitzi was known for her love of photography and she would spend decades most Thursdays checking at it. Ms. Gaynor (the deceased) also spent a jiffy visiting with her older sister most months when she was able to spare a given number of decades. Ever since she was a girl in Chicago, many remember Mitzi as a jerk with fantastic anecdotes that pleased everyone. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a paltry donation to the Heart Foundation in Mitzi's honor.

A funeral is scheduled for Tuesday the 4th at the church in Chicago. The service will commence at 2PM with a reception to follow hosted by her older sister at the burial place. All are welcome to the visitation to be held at church at 4PM.
