Patricia Marquis

Of Cambridge, WI

Pat Marquis was born June 15, 1930, in Buffalo, New York to Daniel and Elsie Sweeney. She peacefully passed away on March 25, 2022, surrounded by her loving family.

Pat grew up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago with her mother, sisters Sharon and Jeri, being raised by her uncle Carl and aunt Effie Meyer. She enjoyed a career as a fashion buyer with the Charles A. Stevens Department Store in Chicago. As a child, she recalled how she would pray for a marquise diamond when she wed, instead she met and married Donald L. Marquis on May 12, 1956. "God has a wonderful sense of humor." They were happily married 49 years, living in Chicago, Arlington Heights, Illinois, Bonita Springs, Florida, and Cambridge, Wisconsin.

After raising 5 children, Pat traveled and explored six Continents, cuddled a baby panda, read a roadmap like it was a storybook, and loved using her wanderlust instincts, driving her red convertible to places unknown for a delicious meal.

The last of her generation, Pat is survived by her children Don Marquis, Deborah (Tom) Carlson, Chris (Kathleen) Marquis, Steven (Robin) Marquis, and Suzanne (Tom) Suminski; her grandchildren John (Rachael) Carlson, Daniel (Marcie) Marquis, Kelly (Matt) Flynn, James (Cassie) Marquis, Steven (Jessica) Marquis, David (Ashley) Marquis, Brian (Meghan) Marquis, Jake Suminski, Will Suminski; and 10 great-grandchildren.

Pat was preceded in death by her husband Don and her mother-in-law Wilma Dillion.
