Thelma Helen Quick, 93, passed away June 13, 2026, in her home in San Angelo. She was born March 5, 1933 in Grand Ledge, Michigan to Victor and Sarah (Dumond) Kline.
Thelma grew up along the banks of the Grand River playing with her four siblings and growing a lifelong love of the outdoors.

In her late teens, she married Tom Spence and they raised five children until his death in 1988. Thelma remarried in 1992 to Allen Quick. They made their home in Grand Ledge for a time and then decided to move to Texas. They settled in San Angelo on Lake Nasworthy until his death in 1998. Thelma loved Texas with all of her heart, and she loved the saying "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could!". In the early 60's, Thelma became one of Jehovah's Witnesses and spent the rest of her life in service to him.
