Dorothea "Doris" Quick, 77, passed away on May 22, 2014.

Doris was born in Neundorf, Germany, on Sept. 13, 1936. In her early 20s, she met and fell in love with her "American GI," Richard E. Quick, and the two were married on Oct. 9, 1959, in Kitzingen, Germany. After Richard's tour of duty was completed, they returned to the U.S. and on Aug. 13, 1963, she received her Certificate of Naturalization, thus becoming a citizen of the United States.

Later, they returned to Germany and were stationed in Bamberg. Returning to the U.S. once again, they spent several years at Ft. Knox and then finally settled in Louisville, where they lived for 39 years.

In March of 1967, they adopted their son, Richard E. Quick, at his birth. Later he blessed them with two beautiful grandsons, Richie and Brennon Quick, both of Louisville, KY.

Doris is preceded in death by her husband, Richard C. Quick, who passed away Sept. 13, 2013. Also preceding her were her parents, Adam and Anna Lechner, and her siblings, Bettys, Fritz and George Lechner.
