Cleta Amelia Marsh, age 92, of Oswego, IL, peacefully passed away on Friday, October
26, 2018. She was born May 10, 1926 in Springfield, IL, the daughter of the late Myron
Lee Nicolls and Gladys Eva (Eacret) Nicolls Marcott.
Cleta’s married life started in St Joseph, IL where she was a member of the St Joseph
United Methodist Church. God and country have always been very important to Cleta.
She loved music and was an avid reader in her spare time. She served by singing in
choirs, working with youth and helping with elections for many years.
Cleta was an expert seamstress and industrious entrepreneur. She managed and
provided training for fabric stores over the years and then transitioned to her own
business ventures. Cleta opened Fabrics Unlimited in Oswego, where she taught many
people, young and old, how to sew. In her retirement phase, she started making
furniture and quilts. Her quilting became another busy venture; she made more 300 quilts
and sold many at the Oswego Farmers Market. She was a beloved resident of
Heritage Woods of Batavia in her last few years.
She is survived by her children Pamela K. (Arthur) Martin of West Melbourne, FL, Dianna L. Marsh of Champaign, IL, Gregory H. (Kim) Marsh of Downers Grove, IL, Teresa L. (John) Richmond of Hinckley, IL, five grandchildren Dwayne “JR” Wilson, Mitchell Wilson, Angela Mitter, Michael Marsh, Kenneth Marsh, as well as 11 great-grandchildren Kyle Mitter, Kayla Mitter, Joseph Mitter, Jenna Mitter, Jacob Wilson, Lucas Wilson, Hannah Wilson, Vincent Marsh, Sophia Marsh, Henry Wilson, June Wilson, Keian Marsh, a sister Judith (Dick) Hutson of Oregon and a sister-in-law Lucille Nicolls of New York.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James Calvin Marsh, son Kevin James Marsh, five sisters and four brothers.
