Joyce Marie Quick, nee Hass/Robson, age 93, lived a long fulfilling life and passed away at her home on July 2, 2024.
Joyce grew up in Madison, South Dakota with her brother, Lorel. She met her first husband Earl "Corky" Robson, married and had 6 children together. They moved to the Phoenix, Arizona area due to a family member with health issues. Later they divorced and she met Eugene "Gene" Quick who was a TSgt in the US Air Force at Luke Air Force Base. After serving in Vietnam, Gene was reassigned to Holloman Air Force Base, NM. Joyce was a stay-at-home mom until the youngest started school and then began working at the Holloman Daycare Center, which in turn became her career as a Director of the Otero County Daycare Center in Alamogordo. As a result, Joyce raised many children in the Holloman and Alamogordo areas due to her number of years at each center. She was instrumental in providing activities for the children such as swim days, the movie theatre, White Sands National Monument, Cloudcroft, and other areas of interest.
Joyce is preceded in death by her husband, Gene of 61 years; sons, Daniel Robson and Micheal Quick; her parents; brother, Lorel; as well as other South Dakota family members. She is survived by children, David Robson, Doug (Patti) Robson, Dale (Julie) Robson, Mark (Miki) Quick, Kris (Eugene) Cupps, Kathy (Len) Collins; 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.
