Betty Jean “Quinn” Funk
Betty Jean ‘Quinn’ Funk crossed into Heaven to meet Jesus, Our Savior, on Thursday May 17, 2018. Betty was born on July 15, 1935 to Isabella Anna ‘Duffy’ Quinn and James Harold Quinn. She was in her 83rd year prior to her passing. Betty was loving and very much loved by her family. Betty is survived in memory by her: daughter, Barbara Ann Funk; daughter, Carolyn Ann Lackner; grand-daughter, Kayla Lackner; son-in-law, Ricky Lackner; daughter, Cynthia Ann Randolph; and grand-son, Max A. Randolph. A life-long St. Louis City resident, Betty grew up in the Soulard neighborhood, in Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Parish and spent the rest of her years in the Carondelet neighborhood, in St. Boniface’s Parish. Betty is preceded in death by her sister Joan Marie ‘Quinn’ Rosener, her parents, and many relatives and friends. As requested, Betty’s ashes were spread near her beloved grandparent’s grave site, Frank and Frances Duffy, in Madonnaville, IL. Betty is now at peace in God’s Love and Light.
If love could have kept Mom, she’d still be with us. I lift my heart in memory of a great mother and friend. Thank you— to all family and friends for your love and support especially over the past year.
I am certain Betty is Happy and at Peace and will remember us with Jesus.
A few years before Betty passed we were corresponding about our shared family tree. She talked about memories of visiting her Grand-parents, Charles & Rose, in Troy, Missouri. She also mentioned her Aunt Bert (Bertha Tiepelman LaGarce). She was seeking more answers about her relatives, but I wasn’t able to help her at the time. I’m sorry to hear that she is gone. If any family members wish to reach out regarding our family tree email me at Steve.Elfrink at gmail. I’d be happy to share our conversation.
