Evelyn “Jane” McQuaid, 95, of Uhrichsville, passed away on Sunday, March 3, 2013 at Beacon Pointe Rehabilitation Center in Uhrichsville after a period of declining health. Born January 25, 1918 in Dover Twp. near Adrian, Michigan, she was a daughter of the late Walter and Dora Johnston.

Jane grew up in Fayette, Ohio and was a graduate of Fayette High School in the class of 1935. On September 7, 1944, she was united in marriage with Robert McQuaid with whom she spent over fifty-seven happy years until his passing in November of 2001. She was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and homemaker who will be lovingly remembered for her beautiful sewing and crocheting. She loved spending time with her family and especially enjoyed their many trips together for fishing in Canada and to Florida in her later years. A resident of the Twin City area for many years, she was a longtime member of Uhrichsville First United Methodist Church. She will also be remembered by many who knew her for her work in the office of Tusco Grocers, beginning in 1954, and later for the office at Ferris Chevrolet for a number of years.
