Clare Collins Marquardt

I remember Mrs. Marquardt as Miss Collins, my freshman English teacher, in what I believe was her first freshman class, would have been 1970-71. She was one of our "cool, hip" teachers, and although I don't remember anything we actually read or did that year now, I do and will always remember that I loved her class.

May light perpetual shine on her.

I vaguely remember Mrs. Marquardt, but had her husband's class. Both were very nice people.

Mrs. Marquardt was my Humanities teacher at Temple City High School back in the early-1980s. Hard to believe that was so long ago. (I think she was pregnant with twins last time I saw her). Mrs. Marquardt introduced me to a world of art, literature, and music that I still treasure to this day.

What I remember most about Mrs. Marquardt, however, was her off-beat sense of humor. Often, when a student did or said something absurd, she would simply smile and call them "a true American...

Sadly, Dick and I will not be able to attend Clare's funeral Mass due to a previous commitment. My memories of Clare (and of Cheryl Mabey) are forever entwined in our leadership goals and successes. Love to the Marquardt and Collins families, as well as to my fellow '69ers. Janet (and Dick) Maulhardt

Mrs. Marquardt was not only a Mount Alumnae but my path to the Mount St. Mary's University as she taught my high school English Class ~ Humanities and introduced me to the Mount.

It was the my great fortunate to attend the Mount and become an active alumnae.

Prayers for her family during this time.

It was a great honor to have met and care for Mrs. Marquardt. I felt like I got to know more about her towards the end when her dear family and friends came by to say their farewells and hearing such wonderful stories of her. Id like to thank the entire Marquardt family for their warm hospitality. Peace be with you all.
May God bless your precious mom and may she rest in eternal peace
