Annette C. (McQuaid) Dorneden, age 90, of Elburn, IL, passed away Saturday afternoon, January 13, 2006 at Provena Mercy Center Hospital, Aurora. She was born July 28, 1916, the daughter of Patrick and Celia (Schaumberg) McQuaid in Darlington, WI. Annette grew up in Darlington and attended Holy Rosary and Darlington High School graduating in 1934. She was united in marriage to Edward Jacob Dorneden on March 2, 1935 at Darlington, Wisconsin. They began their life together in Wisconsin and farmed for many years before moving to Illinois where they continued to farm in several communities. In 1944 they moved to Maple Park and finally settled in Elburn in 1956. She was a faithful member of St. Gall Church, Elburn and the Altar & Rosary Society to which she devoted many years of faithful service including always volunteering to help with the annual St. Patrick's Day Dinner. Annette was also a member of the Sunset Swingers where she socialized and played cards for many years.
Annette's passion was her family and her faith. Being a mother of ten children, she had a special gift for managing all the details and the indomitable spirit to see them through. Her skills in the kitchen were second to none and no one left the table wanting more. There were always pies, cookies and cakes, canned vegetables and fruit which filled the shelves and everything was not only homemade, but made from scratch. Annette also handmade one of a kind quilts for her family that will be passed on for generations to come. Though small in stature and with a distinctive voice, no one could match her strength of will when it came to speaking her mind and correcting the "wrongs' that she saw along her life's journey. Annette also loved to travel extensively to visit family as well as social trips with the senior citizen groups throughout the United States and abroad. Annette loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor that she shared with everyone she met. The footprints of her love and friendship can be found on many paths, but the most treasured will be the ones left on the hearts of her family and all who knew her.
She now leaves nine children, Marjorie Marshall of Kirkland, IL and children, Helen (Mike) Becker, Jim (Bonnie) and Mike (Carla) Marshall; Bernard (Joanne) Dorneden of Bloomington, IL - and children, Matt (Janice) and Brad; Jim (Margaret) Dorneden of Valdosta, Georgia and children, Suzie Holt and Doug; Gregory Dorneden of Montgomery, IL and children, Jason and Emily; Stephen (Sally) Dorneden of Egg Harbor, WI, and children, Angela (Scott) Frohwirth, Michele, Amanda (Travis) Keuttle, and Jacob; Joseph Dorneden of Sandwich, IL, and children, Frank and Jackie; Mark Dorneden of Sandwich, IL, and children, Linette and Roy; Jerry Dorneden of Tucson, AZ; Cecile (Dennis) Mutch of Galesburg, MI, and children, Kyle and Patrick Mutch; one brother, James (Mae) McQuaid of Hawaii; 19 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; one great-great grandson and many nieces and nephews and a life time of friends.

After his death, Annette lived in their home, until the time came it was to much for her to care for. She then moved into an apartment in Elburn. When Patrick became aware of his terminal condition, he left the home as a bequest to his mother.
