The Quick family became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1977. Two years later, they were sealed as an eternal family in the Washington DC Temple.  Over the years, Beverly dedicated her time and talents in church service.  She served in numerous teaching, leadership, and musical callings including Primary President, Seminary Teacher, Ward Organist, and Relief Society President.

The majority of Beverly’s 45-year career was as an IT Executive specializing in Medicare and Medicaid program management.  She loved music and was an accomplished pianist and vocalist, participating in numerous choirs. Beverly and Sterling were avid travelers and enjoyed cruising and visiting sites all over the world during their adventures together.
