Anna Korthals was born 2 February 1875 in Baltimore. She was the 3rd child of Frederick Herman Korthals, of Austria, and Anna Oelke, of Germany. She married Edward Adam Quick on 10 April 1895, and together they had three children—Edward Charles Quick, Harry George Quick, and Melvin George Quick.

The marriage was not always a happy one. On 9 October 1915, Anna filed for divorce citing cruelty, drinking, gambling, and "running with other women." She later dropped her petition, and the couple remained together — for better or worse.

We know that Anna was a patriotic woman. Not only did she fly the flag and decorate the house in the colors of the Allies (as recorded in the Baltimore Sun article about Ed's Welcome Home party), but she also bought War Bonds.

Sometime between 1922 and 1930, Anna and Edward moved from Quick Av to a farm in Kingsville, MD. Anna died on 12 December 1933, of "hemoptysis," a generic term for any respiratory disease which is not pneumonia or tuberculosis. By today's medical standards one would probably conclude that she died of lung cancer. She was 58 years old. Her husband, Edward Adam would live another 27 years before dying in 1960 at age 95. They are buried together at Mountain Christian Church cemetery, in Kingsville. Harry and Melvin, and their spouses, are buried in adjacent plots.
