Mary Lou Quick

Mary Lou (Marroney) Quick, 74 of Cheraw, was called home on December 21, 2020 at Evergreen Gardens in La Junta. She was born May 6, 1946 to Georgia (Goodrich) Ellis and John Marroney in Pueblo, CO. Mary Lou married Gary Lynn Quick on July 4, 1964 in La Junta.

Mary Lou made her home in Cheraw and raised her 4 boys there. Her life was devoted to giving her family the best life that she could. She loved attending football and basketball games and was extremely proud of all of her sons. Christmas was her favorite time of year and she would spend hours decorating every room in her home, making it a magical wonderland for all the children. She was a faithful member of Cheraw United Methodist Church. Mary Lou is probably best remembered for the many years that she taught at Cheraw School. She was loved for her compassion and creativity. She also graduated from Otero Jr. College while teaching school and raising a very active family. Later in life, her grandchildren were her greatest joy.
