The family of Dell Rea Quick, 77, announces her passing, and invites all who knew her to remember her here.

Behind every name is a life, and behind every life are the people who loved it.

Dell's story began in 1936, and unfolded across the years that followed.

Dell held deeply to the Methodist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.

A life of faith is rarely a life of certainty — but always one of trust.
