DENVER, Colo. — Elizabeth Birk Marcheschi, born July 3, 1957, Martha Elizabeth Birk (Marbeth to her astonishingly old friends and family), died at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 11, 2017, of ovarian cancer.
She is the daughter of Elizabeth Lou Bond and Douglas “Bob” Robert Birk. Beth attended Tiskilwa and Princeton schools.
Her adventure continues, ahead of her husband Michael Marcheschi, daughter Jordan Elizabeth (Marcheschi) Honea, son Ian Birk Marcheschi, daughter Katherine Michael Marcheschi and daughter Emily Bond Marcheschi. She saw Jordan marry Jesse Honea and Katherine marry Matthew Millyard. She officiated the marriage of Ian to Emily Laux and Emily to Adam Matthews. She is going ahead of her grandchildren, Jared Honea, Christopher Honea, Scarlett Marcheschi and a little Mouse, expected in October.
