ORRVILLE, OH -- Martha (Morris) McQuillen, age 77, of Orrville, went to be with the Lord on April 23rd, 2020, in Orrville, Ohio. Her family is so grateful that the Lord allowed them to care for her at home as she rapidly declined following her diagnoses of Pancreatic Cancer in January of this year.

She graduated from Cedar Grove high school and married Tracy McQuillen on September 26, 1959 in Handley, WV, by Rev. Jim Franklin. They were married over 60 years. Martha and Tracy spent their married years in TX, WV, PA, and 53 years in Orrville.
Martha worked as an aide at Dunlap Memorial Hospital, Orrville, completing her work career at Westinghouse Electric Corp. in Orrville.
Martha loved crafts, sewing, painting, working with flowers in her gardens and spending time with family.
