In Memoriam EXTENDED FAMILY NEWS Marvin Westmore was more than a make-up artist. He was a teacher, a men- tor and an innovator who never lost his love and passion for the artistry of make- up. Marvin worked in fi lm and TV, and respected both media, always giving 100 per- cent of himself to every project. His legacy also lives on in his children Kandace and Kevin, who have followed in their father's footsteps and are accomplished make-up artists and, like their father, proud members of Local 706. Marvin passed away on Saturday, November 28, with his wife Joyce and sons Eric and Matthew by his side. He is survived by Joyce, his daughter Kandace, sons Kevin, Kris, Eric and Matthew, his brother Michael, his wife Marion, their son Michael, Jr., daughters Michelle and McKenzie and his niece, make-up artist Pamela Westmore. Marvin will be missed by so many. As per Marvin's wishes, there will be no service. He will be buried in a shroud in Apple Valley. Marvin G. Westmore (1934-2020) Make-up Artist was going to be a fun day! Mimi was always sweet and such an incredibly talent- ed hair stylist. She was always willing to share her wisdom and tricks of the trade whenever there was time!" Sister Jafari was a true journeyman, working a wide range of shows over the course of her career. Her credits include Melrose Place, Deep Space Nine, Cop Rock, and Man in the Moon. She was nominated for an Emmy for her work on Star Trek: Voyager and was an Emmy winner for her work on MadTV.

Mimi was dedicated to her family and was deeply beloved by them. She will be remembered fondly by those who were lucky enough to work with her. Marvin Westmore (left)
