Louise Cundiff Quick

QUICK, LOUISE CUNDIFF, 88, returned to her heavenly Father on February 10, 2010. She was born on September 12, 1921, in Eastview, Kentucky, to Noel and Mattie Cundiff. She graduated from high school in Hardin County, Kentucky, and became a beautician by trade. During World War II, she lived in California while her husband, Donald, served in the U.S. Army. After the war, she and Donald made their home in Valley Station, Kentucky, where they raised two sons, Kim and Kerry. The family attended Bethany Methodist Church where they had many friends. Louise was also a member of the Needham Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Eastview where she had grown up in the church that had been pastored by her paternal grandfather, the Rev. N.G. Cundiff. Louise loved her family and her church and her old friends and often cared for those who needed help when their health declined. She visited the sick and took food and, more importantly, gave her friendship and compassion to those who needed it. In the last days she was focused on caring for her family and trying to provide for them. Louise had five siblings, Russell, Ethel, Raymond, Robert and Finis. Finis Cundiff survives her. Donald, her beloved husband, to whom she was married for 64 years, passed from this life in 2007. Louise is also survived by her children, Kim and Kerry, and their spouses, whom she loved very much, Karen and Mary Lea. She loved her three grandchildren very much, Ryan, Brandon and Kevin, and they loved her and visited with her in her last days. C.J. Quick, Ryan's wife, also loved Louise as did many of her old friends from Bethany. Louise is also survived by her two nephews, Jeffery Antle, and his wife, Cecilia, and Kenneth Cundiff and his wife, Carolyn. She has passed to a better place and we will miss her, but we will see her again. A service to celebrate her life will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at Arch L. Heady & Son Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 3601 Taylor Blvd. with burial in Smith Chapel Cemetery in Eastview, KY. Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m. Friday. The family expresses its thanks to the medical staff and Louise's friends who helped her in her later years. Expressions of sympathy may be made to Bethany Methodist Church Building Fund or Hosparus of Louisville.
