Vanessa Marquez Obituary
Stuart, FL
A vibrant soul, one who literally lit up the room whenever she was around, is now lighting her way through the path to eternity.
Vanessa Joan Marquez was called upon on Friday, March 16, 2018. She passed away peacefully at her home in Florida.
Vanessa was born in Bridgeton, New Jersey to William H. and Mary E. Chattin. She is survived by her 7 siblings: William, Eloise, Linda, Rhonda, Judy Collins, Harold, and Timothy.
Vanessa is leaving behind in presence but not in spirit her longtime sweetheart and husband, Anton, and their 5 beautiful children that she loved unconditionally: Ingrad Heine, Monique Starr Cespedes, Barbara Ann Marquez, Samantha Joan Bahna, and Robin Marie Marquez.
She also leaves behind her most adored and beloved grandchildren: Gabriele Anton, Ashland Ian, Vanessa and Maya, and Franco and Milania.
It was a great privilege to have known, been loved by, and shared precious time on Earth with Vanessa. She will be enormously missed by many. Until we meet again.

Mom- Gabe is a Dad! He had a little baby girl Born Sept 23rd! You’d be so proud of him Mom! He’s doing a good job and making so many improvements in his life and for Eme Renae. You’d think she was the cutest little baby she looks just like a baby doll! Oh’ I miss you so much mom. It was crazy the other day I went to pick up the phone and so easy to forget that I can’t do that anymore. I love you so much mom and miss you so much! A lot is happening and so fast! Sending you a hug and kiss mom all the way up there to you in Heaven.

Mom- Barb brought the kids to see me and we are together sharing fond memories of you! We can’t believe as we reflect that it’s been 3 years today that you left us so suddenly! We talk about our memories and appreciate all of them. Though you left us so soon we live on knowing you’re in a better place and we know you’re always with us and watching over us- we see your signs everywhere! We love you mom-
Our kids love you! You are never forgotten!
P.s you would be proud to know Sam became Dr. Samantha Bahna! She’s achieved the inevitable success as single woman obtaining for herself the highest of all educational achievement! I know you would be so proud of her!
love. MO

Remembering the date I lost You in this life in this realm. I have never forgot You, nor have I never stopped loving You. Of course a lot has happened as it does in this life with the Family as you probably know. The words are still difficult to put into context, my heart will never stop aching until I'm with you again...

My beloved mother how much h I miss you and miss our daily talks! So much I want to tell you but I know you see all. I know I would be so selfish in saying I would give anything to have you back because I know the place where you went is way better than what you had here. A place of peace where you know no pain and a place where you suffer no more. But I do miss you and I do miss being able to talk to you all heading your voice and laugh and you saying , oh moe to all my sarcasm! Me girls miss you dearly but I remind them of your peace now and they understand so much more. We do get your signs when we have that doubt and you always reassure us youre still near! Thanks for that comfort. I know youre gone from here but youre not forgotten Mom ❤.

I can't say I remember this, or that about you I knew You You were my Wife We loved and lived our lives, we raised children and at times our grand children. In our 47 years together we experienced it all. I won't forget, I see You around me all the time. When I see & hear our children grandchildren you're sisters brothers, nieces and nephews, it reminds me of You, who You were. You may not be here next to me, but I know you're presence is around me, around all of us. You were bestowed a unique quality and were blessed. And I miss You, not only this day, but everyday. Love You Babe Anton

Remembering you is easy
I do it every day.
Missing you is the heartache
that never goes away.
Not a millisecond of my time since you've passed that I haven't thought of you! Vanessa felt your spirit during her game last night - and thanks you for that little talk too! We all miss you- thanks for being here in spirit and coming to our dreams to encourage us to stay strong and still offer words of advice during the times you know they are needed the most!
We love you Mom , (Grandma)!

My Wife, my best Friend. the best thing that ever happened to me, besides our Children and their Children. Every day I think of you Vanessa. There isn't a day, or one of Life's daily occurrences, that something or a situation occurs, that reminds me of You. Even though the hurt of losing you is still painful, I know you're at peace, and are no longer suffering. I believe your loving spirt... a lifetime of memories, and you're fierce loyalty to your Family and Friends help provide us comfort as I many others remember You Vanessa, each and every day.
Your example and love are enduring as time itself. I know I'll see you again, but for now I remain here until my time passes. Love You Babe. missing You today and each and everyday. Anton
