A Farewell to Helen Marcus
Helen Marcus was born in New York in 1922. She was married to the love of her life, Jim Marcus, for 50 years. Upon
their arrival in Los Angeles in the early 1980s-together with business partners and friends Al Deitsch, and Lyle and
Andrew Thomson-they formed CHI, supplying custom carpet to the hospitality industry. They enjoyed a thriving
business for many years until Jim's passing. In 1996 she founded Zenith International, where she was joined by Jan
Baron-Shames as a sales representative in 2000, and as a partner in 2008, helping her to grow the business to one of
the top rug manufacturers in the hospitality industry.  
Helen was part of NEWH's Los Angeles Founding Chapter, holding many roles, including as part of the public relations
team, and as executive vice president and president. Helen was also heavily involved with the community service
program and in programming, and she helped create and edit the NEWH Newsletter and cookbook. In 1992, Helen
was honored with the prestigious NEWH Woman of the Year award, and she also traveled to a number of cities to
help charter new chapters. Helen was a trail blazer, and dedicated throughout her career to empowering women in
the industry. She mentored and inspired so many in our community over the years and was loved by all that had the
fortune of knowing her. Her love of our industry and her legacy will live on.
