Cindy Pritzker

Marian Friend Pritzker (1923–2025), known as “Cindy” to the world, but as “Mama” to those nearest to her, was matriarch to many—from generations of family, to the modern-day city of Chicago, and the Pritzker Architecture Prize, which she co-founded with her husband, the late Jay A. Pritzker, in 1979.

Vivacious and indelible, assured yet gracious, Cindy delighted in life and endeavored to elevate the wellbeing of every citizen. She was a benevolent visionary, forging partnerships between public and private sectors to sponsor civic environments, yielding a model for the greater community.

Her legacy will be immeasurable. Internationally, she will be remembered for advancing one of the most impactful humanitarian arts, but by us, she will be remembered as the lady who loves a room full of pink peonies and laughter. May we all aspire to be a little more like Cindy.
