Elsie was born April 1, 1925 in Davenport Township. The eldest of 11 children born to Arthur and Malinda (Holling) Levetzow. She was united in marriage to Walter E. Quick on May 17, 1947 at St. Mark Lutheran Church. She graduated from Davenport High School in 1944. She retired after 37 ½ years from the office of Plumbers & Pipefitters Local Union #387. Before that she was employed at Model Dairy and Warren L. Langwith.

Elsie was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church-Davenport, Women of the Moose, and AARP. Elsie and Wally could have danced all night and they danced at least once a week as long as they were able. They enjoyed traveling with Tri-State Tours and going to the Rhythm City River Boat. Elsie did a lot of crocheting, making doilies, and afgans for the family. She was faithful in sending out birthday and anniversary cards – never forgetting anyone. Let’s not forget – she was a “Die-Hard Cubs” fan. Having no children of her own, her nieces and nephews held a special place in her heart.

Those left to honor her memory include sisters, Darlene (Carl) Rahlf, Carol Hess, and Ruth Behan.

She was proceeded in death by her loving husband Walter (Wally), her parents, brothers, Robert, Earl, Harvey, Walter, and Ralph Levetzow; sisters, Betty Noll and Jo-Ann Stoefen.

We can hear the Dave Dighton Band Playing “Mind Your Own Business” with Wally and Elsie dancing in the stars.
