Muriel March Quer

We say a sad farewell to our mother, Muriel Grace Helen March Quer, knowing she has found her place at last. She was an elegant, kind and caring woman who spent countless hours as a volunteer. She served on the Research Hospital Women’s Auxiliary, the St. Andrew’s Church Altar Guild, Collector’s Corner store for the Eisenhower Medical Center in Palm Desert, California, and most proudly, twice as co-chair of the volunteers at La Quinta Country Club for the Bob Hope Desert Classic golf tournament. She was a loving mother who always helped out at schools and within her community. She loved to shop and would take each person (friends, children, grandchildren) shopping and find just the right thing. It was very special. At the last, she loved sipping iced mochas and watching the dogs play at the dog park.

Born in Hoosick Falls, New York, August 9, 1924, she met and married Dr. Erich Quer, her husband of sixty-seven years in nearby Albany. She worked with him to build his general surgery practice at Research Hospital. They raised their children and traveled the world together. Her favorite U.S. destination was the Garden of the Gods in Colorado, and she loved London. She made fine homes, in Mission Hills and Kansas City, and in La Quinta, California. She made many good friends and good times wherever she went. She spent her final few years in Santa Marta Assisted Living in Olathe, Kansas, and died with family by her side in her home there on July 15th.

Preceded in death by her husband, her parents, her brother and sister and a nephew, she is survived by her children, son Geoffrey, his wife Sharon, daughter Linda Muller, her husband Skip, five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and loving nieces and nephews.

The family wishes to sincerely thank Santa Marta Assisted Living staff, Grace Hospice and Heaven Sent Home Care, especially Alicia, Randa, Jackie, Whitney, Kim, Pam and Kathy, for the loving care they gave to our mother. There were many, many others among those staffs and we thank them all.

There will be a private burial. We will have a reception to share with friends at The Bristol restaurant on Thursday, July 31 from 4 to 6 p.m. In lieu of flowers please make a donation in her name to a favorite charity or make a planting in her honor.

Muriel is dearly missed.

Arrangements under the direction of Mount Moriah & Freeman Funeral Home, Kansas City, MO.
