Margaret Quinn Orloske, loving wife, mother, daughter, friend, neighbor and

colleague was lost, and is now presumed deceased, as a result of the

terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. She is

remembered for her good nature, integrity, professionalism, and her caring

for others. Born and raised in Trumbull Connecticut, she settled down in

Windsor, Connecticut with her husband of 26 years, Duane A. Orloske,

Director of the Student Center at C.C.S.U., and their son Stephen,

currently a student at Goucher College in Maryland.

She received her Bachelor Degree in History from the Univ. of Connecticut

and her Masters Degree in Library Sciences form the University of

Pittsburgh. After graduation she became the Corporate Librarian for Timex

and then manager of various information and service operations for

Travelers Insurance in Hartford where she also served as Chairperson for

the company's annual United Way Campaign. Margaret was a Vice-President for

Marsh & McLennan Companies in New York where her office was on the 96th

floor of World Trade Center 1. Her daily commute from Windsor to NYC was a

testimony not only to her love of her work but her dedication and love for

her family and the many people with whom she worked. The numerous cards

received by the family, following the tragedy, were filled with remarks of

the caring she showed others and the difference she had made in the lives

of so many.

There will be a memorial service held for Margaret at Saint Gabriel's

Church in Windsor, Connecticut on Saturday October 6th at 11:30am.

Saint Gabriel's Church is located on Route 159 (Broad Street) in Windsor.

Take exit 36 off of Route I-91N. Go right off the exit onto Route 178. Go

about 1 mile until you come to Route 159. Go left on Rt. 159. Saint

Gabriel's is under a mile on your right just before you enter downtown

Windsor. A reception for family and friends will be held at the Orloske's

home at 5 Settlement Hill, about 2 miles north of the church right off of

Route 159.

Margaret and her husband have been long time members of Historic Deerfield
