Jeffrey Marcinkus

Surrounded by his loving family, Jeffrey Marcinkus, age 54, passed away Thursday, December 20, 2012 at Wheaton Franciscan – All Saints Medical Center. Jeffrey was born in Kenosha, November 19, 1958, son of Albert and Loretta (Nee: Kvietkus) Marcinkus.

Jeffrey was united in marriage to Ann Marie Willems on October 10, 1992 at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Kenosha. He was currently a member of St. Rita Catholic Church. He was employed at McDonalds Corporation for thirty-five years and most recently as a manager at Speedway. Jeffrey’s passion was music and he was a huge Elvis fan.
