Quig always kept a bag packed. She loved taking short trips to visit her family and friends; especially her sisters in St. Paul and her sisters and their children in Redby, whom she had become very close to. As much as she like to travel, she enjoyed coming home to the peace and quiet of her own home. Quig's friends were lifelong, a couple of her very special friends were Gordon Mason and Eric Schissel. She enjoyed being with her family and friends, but her biggest pride and joy came from her sons and her grandsons, she spoiled them all.
