NEWARK — A Celebration of Life Service for Patricia Ann Quack, 80, of Newark will be held Wednesday at 11 a.m. at Heath Church of Christ with Greg Robbins, Dave Mason and Ray Linn officiating. Burial will follow in Cedar Hill Cemetery.
She went to be with her Lord on Aug. 15, 2009, at Selma Markowitz Hospice Unit at Licking Memorial Hospital. Patricia was born April 9, 1929, in Findlay to the late Walter and Gertrude “Cookie” (Olson) McCracken. She was manager of Quack Fire Equipment for 23 years. She was a member of the National Association of Fire Equipment Dealers. She graduated from Newark High School as vice president of her class in 1947. She was a member of the Heath Church of Christ, where she served as choir director for 12 years. Music played an important role in her life and she loved to sing of her Lord.
