Marquita Rose Hanzl was born on December 1, 1944 to Vaclav and Rose (Samek) Vrbka in David City and was raised on the family farm near Brainard in Butler County. She attended Holy Trinity Elementary School and graduated from David City Aquinas in 1963. On October 16, 1965, Marquita married Ronald Hanzl at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Brainard. The couple took up farming northwest of Dodge, becoming the third generation of Hanzls to occupy the farm. Marquita was active with daily workings of the farm and nurtured her growing family there as well. After Ron’s sudden death in 1993, Marquita moved to Dodge where she worked at the Parkview Nursing Home. After her retirement, she continued to volunteer at Parkview. Marquita was a member of St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church and Christian Mothers. Some of her favorite hobbies were making quilts and other crafts. Marky could be found in her flower garden or playing cards with her card club. She enjoyed being at home but was always active with her neighbors and community. Most of all, Marky was deeply devoted to her family and was always capturing moments on camera and video.
