Barbara J. Marquis, 66, of Toledo, passed away peacefully on September 23, 2020 at her home surrounded by her family. Barb was born March 30, 1954 in Toledo to William and Margarite (Jay) Kelley.

In her free time, she enjoyed playing bingo, slot machines, cards, poker, going out to dinner, and traveling. Barb loved water and being in the sunshine.
