Mia M. Quednau

Mia M. Quednau, 55, of Fremont, Ohio, passed away on June 26, 2026. She was born on January 8, 1971, in Fremont, OH to Melvin Welch and Marda Mason. Her life was a testament to love, empathy, thoughtfulness and lighthearted banter.

Mia worked in various positions throughout the years but mostly enjoyed bartending. She was a fan of NASCAR and Sprint Car racing, and an avid fan of the University of Michigan football team and the Dallas Cowboys. She found joy and relaxation in watching Lifetime and Hallmark movies, as well as CSI and crime shows. Always the life of social gatherings, Mia loved talking on the phone with both family and friends. Yet, what mattered most to Mia was spending quality time with her family, especially her grandchildren and beloved dog, Jackie.

Mia is survived by her parents, Melvin and Marda; loving husband, Rodney Quednau of Fremont, OH; daughter, Amber (Stephen) Mason of Grove City, OH; sons, Miguel Guzman, Jr. of Toledo, OH and Ja'Shaun Durbin of Fremont, OH; step-daughter, Lisa Quednau of Cleveland, OH; grandchildren, Terrell, Kani, Kamryn, Kade, Khloe and Amias Mason, Miguel Guzman, III and Hudson, August and Tucker Durbin; brother, Richard (Kristy) Welch of Babcock Ranch, FL; sister, Mindy (Toby Butler) Welch of Fremont, OH; brother, Mason (Jennifer)Link of Tiffin, OH; and numerous other loving family members.
