Alma Luz Quick

Alma Luz Quick, 91 of Wenatchee, WA.
Loving wife, mother, friend, and great-great grandmother, passed away peacefully in her home, accompanied by her family on November 22, 2021.

She was born Alma Luz Carrillo-Fernandez in Guatemala, Central America on May 5, 1930 to loving parents; Francisco Megaña Carrillo, and María Graciela Fernandez Masferrer.

While working on her career as a professional singer, she met and fell in love with a visiting American pilot, Captain William E. Quick and they were married on August 2, of 1954.
They were a happy couple and traveled and enjoyed life in various countries, having 5 children along the way.

She loved people and learning about other cultures. She studied Foreign Affairs and International Law, later working as a Bilingual Secretary, Diplomatic Protocol Assistant, and Court Translator in the U.S.A. and overseas.

She was appointed Honorary Consul of Guatemala in Nassau, Bahamas by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II of England, and served in that capacity from 1957-1962.

She cherished her family and friends, loved music, literature, art, fashion design, and nature; especially Hummingbirds, which are as colorful and lively as she was.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 34 years while living in Alaska in 1988, and is survived by her 5 children:
Mireya, Richard, Roy, Francesca, and Edgar, as well as son in-law Sterling Bartholomew of Leavenworth, Washington and daughter in-law Yvette Pashia of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
She had 10 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and 2 great-great grandchildren.

Alma means Soul in Spanish, and Luz means Light. Alma Luz was the Soul and Light of our family. That soul and light will always live in our hearts, and those of her many relatives, descendants, and friends throughout the USA, Guatemala, and the world over.

We will love you always Mama.
