Margaret A Quane, R.N.B.S

Margaret passed away peacefully Friday March 5, 2021. Loving mother of Peggy (John) Papadia and Michael (Maureen) Quane. Treasured Grandmother of John G. (Lynn) Papadia, Julie (Jeremy) Nickels, Marleen (Michael) Coglianese, Erin Quane, Meaghan (Michael) Moriarty, Michael (Lauren) Quane.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Mary (nee Ilenich) Rozich, her husband, Thomas B. Quane, Sisters: Christine (Francis) Stimac, Mary (John) Trippon, Alice (Charles) Stiglich.

Margaret received her R.N. from St Anthony du Padua School of Nursing. She worked at St Anthony’s Hospital and Hines VA Hospital before beginning her 28-year career at St. Anne’s Hospital in Chicago. Positions she held during that time were Staff Nurse, Head Nurse, Area Supervisor, Assistant Director of Nursing and finally Director of Nursing Professional Affairs. She was part of the disaster team for Our Lady of the Angels School fire and the Brach Candy Explosion. Despite working full time and raising a family, she returned to St Francis College to earn her B.S. degree. She retired in 1984 to pursue golfing and traveling. Hers was a life well-lived, and a life we gratefully celebrate.

Wow! Your Mom was quite an accomplished woman. Had no idea. And Im sure she was a wonderful mother, grandmother, wife and friend to many people who were lucky enough to have known her. The photo of her makes me smile. Wishing you and your family strength, peace, love, and many good memories during this difficult time.

Aunt Marge was a wonderful, caring, loyal woman with a terrific sense of humor and an equally fine work ethic. She was so kind and helpful to her sister Mary during my mother's illness and then so very welcoming to me when I graduated from college six months later. Through her actions and words of wisdom Aunt Marge offered many good lessons on leading an engaged, responsible, and full life.
