Sheila D. Marques, 57, of Grafton, NH, formerly of Nashua, NH, passed away on Wednesday evening, July 2, 2025 in her home surrounded by her loving family, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Sheila was born in Concord, MA on November 21, 1967, a daughter of the late Ronald R. and Kathleen E (Costello) Neely O'Flahaven. She grew up in Westford and graduated from Greater Lowell Technical High School and received her associates degree from Middlesex Community College.
Sheila worked for many years as a Sales Professional at Continental Resources in Bedford.
Sheila loved to be out working on her property. She worked diligently alongside her husband to transform their land into a beautiful homestead. Sheila especially enjoyed cultivating her many flower gardens or her "She She shed" where she pursued many hobbies like stained glass, painting, and all forms of arts and crafts.
Sheila also had a passion for the outdoors and regularly enjoyed many activities such as kayaking, boating, jet skiing, snowmobiling and the newest endeavor, RVing. But most cherished was spending time with her beloved family.
She leaves her husband of 37 years Kevin D. Marques of Grafton, NH; two sons Eric Marques of Pittsfield, NH, and Christopher Marques of Nashua, NH as well as numerous other family members who will miss her more than words can ever express.
Her funeral services will be held privately in the T.J. Anderson & Son Funeral Home, 250 Main St., Townsend, MA.
In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, Lebanon, NH, 03756.
