Mardee Ann Trapkus
August 24, 1950 — September 17, 2006
Mardee Ann Trapkus, 56, was born August 24, 1950. This strong willed woman was raised by Donald and Beulah Howell. Mardee passed away the evening of September 17th. She graduated from Moline High School, attended Carthage College, became the first female stockbroker in the Quad Cities area, and bravely fought a long, hard battle with cancer for eight years.
Memorial services will be held 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 21, 2006 at First Covenant Church, Moline, IL, with the service led by Rev. James Lundell. Visitation is from 9-11 a.m. at the church. Memorials should be in her honor for appreciation for care given by Dr. Markovic, she would like memorials sent to Dr. Svetomir Markovic-research work, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN; or if you prefer to First Covenant Church Memorial Trust Fund. Esterdahl Mortuary & Crematory, Ltd. is handling arrangements.
Not only was she a daughter and a mother, but a sister, aunt, grandmother of two, and a friend to many. She was a member of the First Covenant Church, enjoyed her work at Robert W. Baird Investment Company with a passion, and spent every other moment focusing on her children.
She leaves behind her father Donald Howell and his wife Irene Howell; her three children; son Christopher (Janelle) an IT manager for John Deere & Co., Brian (Jamie) a carpenter and contractor of his own businesses, and Melanie a wildlife biologist. Each of whom were extremely proud to have such a strong woman in their lives and will deeply miss her.
All lives touched by hers will miss her sweetness, strength and encouragement, but will always hold onto great memories of this extraordinary woman.
