Marlene Patricia Kasper's Obituary
Marlene Patricia Kasper (Quade), age 90, of Oshkosh, was called to her eternal home on Friday July 3, 2026. She was born to the late Marlyn and Elsie Breed Quade on October 2, 1935. Marlene married Robert Joseph Kasper on May 23, 1959. She was employed at the Payne Lumber Company, Winnebago Mental Health, Green Meadow School, and Miles Kimball where she retired from.
She was an active member of St. John’s Catholic Church, now Saint Jude the Apostle (Sacred Heart). Marlene enjoyed playing the piano, bowling, telling family history stories, a good joke, playing games on the holidays, going out to dinner, the Kentucky Derby, traveling, gambling with her son-in-law, traveling to Ireland with her daughter-in-law, eating salmon patties with her son, giggling with her daughter, and spending time with her family. She was deeply loved by her family.
She is fondly remembered by her grandchildren for lunch at Hardee’s, shopping, “pedal pushers”, spending time at grandma’s house on the holidays with dinner and rolls, opening Valentines with her, getting Hershey pie from Burger King, trick or treating by her house and having pizza afterward, playing games at grandma’s house at Christmas, and her calling all of us sugar foot.
She is survived by her son; Mark (Deb) Kasper, daughter; Anna (Jim) Kedzierski, grandchildren; Jason (Cyndi) Kasper, Sarah (Tyler) Jaklin, Jennifer (Jim) Graf, Beth (Nic) Satterstrum, Jodie (Nick Becker) Kasper, Erica (fiancé Zach Chastek) Kedzierski, great grandchildren; Jade, Madoc, & Cal Jaklin and Emmeline Graf.
She was preceded in death by her husband; Robert Joseph Kasper, daughter; Mary Ann Kasper, and brother; Eugene Quade.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, July 10, 2026, at 11 am at St. Jude Parish (Sacred Heart Church). Father Nathan Budde will be the celebrant. Visitation will be held at the church from 10 am until the time of Mass.
The Kasper family wishes to extend a very special Thank you to the staff at Arborview Manor Assisted Living Facility and Moments Hospice staff for all their excellent care of Marlene in her last years and final moments. We are grateful for all of them.
