It was a dark and stormy night...Bwahahahaha, just kiddin'
"Obituary of the Organ Lady"
The front page of The Weekly Tribune read as follows:
Grenadine "Deanie" Roze Quick, age 93, slid off the organ bench and into the Almighty's hands this past Wednesday, literally, in the middle of her stirring rendition of "Ain't Got Time to Die". She was the organist of the First Baptist Church where she had dutifully and selflessly served her Heavenly Father for the last 50 years.
Nary a service went by without Deanie Roze pressing the pedals and tickling the ivories. Her fellow churchgoers say she was as reliable as the U.S. Mail. Whether rain, or snow, or sleet or ail nothing was going to prevent Deanie Roze from showing up in her hat and veil to caress her beloved 1955 Casavant pipe organ. She loved working the Sunday crossword puzzle and enjoyed the company of her two dogs, Ho and Hum.
Deanie Roze was born January 13th, 1911 right here in our own Community Hospital to Abraham Taylor and Mary Porter. She was proceeded in death by the love of her life, her husband, Jack B. Quick...and quickened he was way back on October 31st, 1976.
She is survived by her daughter, Mary Love Quick, of St. Louis, Missouri.
A memorial service has yet to be scheduled as an inquisition into the incident of death has been ordered by Judge Woodrow T. Wiley.
