Mark C

Marquardt

Mark C. Marquardt, 65, of Toledo, OH, passed away at Aspen Grove Assisted Living Residence on Monday, July 16, 2012.
The son of Harold and Erna (Meissner) Marquardt, Mark graduated from Dearborn High School in Michigan. He attended Wayne State University in Detroit where he majored in Art Studies.
Mark was an avid artist and recalled many fond memories of his summers on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ, where he sketched portraits of tourists.
He spent many years at home caring for his aging mother as her health declined.
In more recent years, Mark worked at the Toledo Museum of Art as a landscape gardener. He found great satisfaction as he merged his interests in both gardening and art.
Mark is survived by a sister, Marsha (Elliott) Mason, of Cortland, New York, three married nieces, Jennifer, Julie and Jessica and their families.
He was predeceased by his parents Harold and Erna Marquardt.
