Marie Quirk, age 93, passed away peacefully on September 24, 2021. Survived by her loving daughter Sharon (Dominic LaMarra) Quinn, grandsons Daniel and Ryan (Natalie) Quinn and great grandchildren Alaina and Landon. Marie was preceded in death by her husband of 62 years, Robert Quirk in December 2015.
Marie, who was a longtime resident of Clinton Township, MI, was originally from Lancaster, MN. Growing up on a farm, she learned early the value of hard work and independence. She was the only one in her family to move away and forge a way of her own. She made her way to Detroit, where she met her husband, Robert. Both of them worked at Federal Mogul Manufacturing for 25 years. They eventually married and continued their life together, starting a family, having one daughter, Sharon. Marie loved taking care of her family, and particularly loved the joys of being a grandma. She took on an essential role in helping her daughter raise her two grandsons. She was a great cook and baker, and loved hosting holiday celebrations at her home for her family. Marie also held a special place in her heart for veterans, and supported several organizations over the years.
