Tia Marquez, 53, of Thornton, entered into eternal life on March 20, 2018. Tia is survived by her parents David and Sara, sister Mitzie, daughter Erica and son Anthony, five granddaughters: Jayla, Janeah, Amaya, Aaliya, and Ayva and nephew Brian. She is preceded in death by grandparents Jack and Tina Maestas.
Tia was born on November 21, 1964 in Denver and graduated from Jefferson County Public Schools. Tia's greatest pride was the Auto Detail Shop she owned and operated for many years. She moved to Panama City, Florida in 2007.
After becoming extremely ill Tia moved back home to Denver in June of 2017. Being home gave her the opportunity to spend time with her family. She absolutely adored her granddaughters and was so happy she was here for the birth of her youngest granddaughter, Ayva. Brian, her nephew gave her lots of love every day and she loved when he showed her his latest video game accomplishment and dance moves. Tia was an avid Bronco and New York Yankee fan. She watched every game and went to as many games as possible.
Tia missed having to leave her German Shepard "Smokey" her "Bestest Buddy" as she called him in Florida.
