Loretta Marsh, 93, of Arlington Heights died Wednesday, June 14, in Northwest Community Hospital, Arlington Heights. Mrs. Marsh retired in 1967 as an administrative assistant in the materials handling division of Argonne National Laboratory near Lemont after 21 years. Mrs. Marsh previously served in the same capacity, from 1944 to 1946, at the University of Chicago for the scientists who established Argonne in 1946. Mrs. Marsh received a bachelor’s degree in science from the Illinois State University, Normal, in 1926. She taught in a one-room schoolhouse near Dwight from 1926 to 1929. Mrs. Marsh later attended the University of Chicago as a graduate student. “She had a remarkable life for a woman her age,” said her daughter Sharon Devero. “Many women at that time didn’t get an education or have jobs. She had a long and successful career. She raised five children. She was very disciplined, very smart.” Other survivors include two sons, Maurice Broderick and Monsignor Killian Broderick; another daughter, Jean McCabe; 11 grandchildren; and 22 great-grandchildren. A service will be held at 8:45 a.m. Saturday in Glueckert Funeral Home, 1520 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights, followed by a mass at 9:30 a.m. in Our Lady of the Wayside Catholic Church, 440 S. Mitchell Ave., Arlington Heights.
