She was born in Louisville Kentucky where she devoted her life to raising her family. She left this mortal earth to spend eternity in heaven with those who preceded her in death: Her parents Richard and Jewel Meers, her twin brother Bobby Meers, her sister Patricia Waggoner, her husband Patrick Quarles, her son Larry Quarles, and her great-great granddaughter Charley Rose Quarles.
She is survived by her Brothers, Buddy Meers and Butch Meers (Mary); her children, David Quarles, Kimberle West (Perry), Kevin Quarles (Kim), Gregory Quarles (Frances), and Julie Luckett (Gary); Her grandchildren, Whitney Quarles, Aaron Kimbrough (Bridget), Scott Quarles, Kyle Quarles (Summer), Jennifer Conley (James), Jayme Maskey (Phillip), Kayla Vest (Lee), and Haley Quarles; Her great-grandchildren, Cambron Quarles (Macy), Taylor Rankin, Kyle Quarles Jr., Mason Maskey, Ethan Kimbrough, and Norah Ice; And her great-great grandchild Oliver Quarles.
She was an Employee of the Fraternal Order of Eagles #2173 for over 30 years where she was a beloved member of her community.
Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her family and friends, and could always be counted on for a laugh, a hug, or a shoulder to cry on. She was a matriarch in every sense of the word; her warmth and wisdom shaped her family and she will live on in the hearts of all she touched.
