Gloria Ann Quick, age 84 years, longtime resident of Delaware Township, NJ, died peacefully on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at Independence Manor, Raritan Township, NJ, under the caring watch of Hunterdon Hospice.

Born on February 6, 1940, daughter of the late George Lesko and Mary W. Lesko, Gloria was a lifelong resident of the Sergeantsville area.

A 1958 graduate of Hunterdon Central High School, after graduation she enrolled in nursing school but eventually found her early vocation in NYC as a reservationist for National Airlines. After marrying her husband Harry, she was a bookkeeper for their business, Quick’s Garage. She also assisted with bookkeeping for Town & Country Beauty Shoppe, her twin sister’s business in Flemington, NJ.

Gloria was a homemaker but in no way did that fully define her interests. She was a tireless worker and assisted in everything she and Harry tackled. Gloria worked side by side with her husband in their many pursuits, including landscaping for neighbors in the community. They were a team and farmed the family property for many years where they were known for maintaining a beautiful homestead. She was also an avid hunter and enjoyed the outdoors.

Gloria and her husband loved to travel. Together they toured throughout the United States and had a special passion for Alaska. They visited central Europe and enjoyed many cruises in the Caribbean.

Gloria was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Flemington, NJ, where her parents and other family were founding members.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Harry A. Quick, her identical twin sister, Georgia A. Mina, her sisters, Ellen A. Chromeck and Suzanne Leupold, and her daughter-in-law, Melanie Hrynyk-Quick. 

Surviving are two stepsons, Donald C. Quick of Mendham, NJ and Marlin J. and his wife, Sally Quick of Stewartsville, NJ; a step-granddaughter, Lauren C. Lawrence and great grandson, Rock Lawrence; her nieces, Shelley Corrado and her companion, Mark Huber, of Lambertville, NJ and Darcy and her husband, Paul Corrado of Milford, NJ; a nephew, Michael and his wife, Debbie Chromeck of Tabernacle, NJ; and many extended family and dear friends.
