She was born April 22, 1923, in Pennville, to David Robert and Mary Ellen Miller Taylor. On June 21, 1941, she married Donald L. Quine, who survives.
His family moved to Warsaw in 1937. After World War II ended, she and Donald settled in Kosciusko County and eventually bought a house in Winona Lake. They remained in the Warsaw area until moving to Zionsville to be closer to their daughter. Donald was serving in the U.S. Air Corp and after his marriage he was allowed to live off base so she went with him until he was sent out of the country.

She was a member of Winona Lake Grace Brethren Church since 1984 and a former member of Warsaw American Legion Auxiliary and Women of the Moose. She was a very devoted wife, mother and homemaker.
