Margie Quick Lively

Margie Quick Lively, 97, entered into rest Monday, March 31, 2025. She was a native and lifelong resident of Burke County. She was a member of Botsford Baptist Church. Margie’s sense of humor prevailed through trials and blessings. She knew the value of a dollar and the value of all her children loving the Lord. She lived her life for the Lord and her children. An open Bible was always on her kitchen table and her kitchen was always open for food and gatherings of her family. Margie loved her country, flying her flags, and always prayed for the soldiers. She was preceded in death by her parents, Josie Flakes and Joe Wheeler Quick; her husband, Keely Otto Lively, Sr.; four sisters, Pearl Quick, Mary Quick Bargeron, Ollie Quick Garza, and Catherine Quick Gatch; and a brother Joe Wheeler Quick.
