Mary Jane Palmquist, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully on Monday November 19, 2018 with family by her side.
Mary was born in Oshkosh, WI on December 22, 1938. Mary had always enjoyed cooking, baking, bowling, golf, and cheering on her children and grandchildren at all their sporting events. Mary volunteered at Silver Sneakers at the YMCA, The Food Pantry, and Mercy Medical Center. She was very active at Christ Lutheran Church and enjoyed being a part of Bible studies each week. She was an avid member of the Oshkosh Choraliers and enjoyed singing. Like her husband Rich, she was a dedicated follower of the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers.

She is also survived by her three sisters Aundra (Jerry) Kohlbeck, Gail (Tom) Lorge, Karen (Steve) Scheuermann, and brother Bill (Dot) Tully. She is also survived by her good friends Jackie Boese and Betty Kuhnz. She is preceded in death by her husband Richard, her parents William and Margaret, and her in-laws.

The family would like to thank her neighbors Dave and Cheri, Ralph and Bonnie, and Lucy for all of their help. They would also like to thank the ICU at Mercy Medical Center especially Dr. Edwards and Dr. Roberts for the care she received.
