Dianna Sue Quick

Dianna Sue Quick, 77, of Vienna, West Virginia, passed away peacefully on Monday, December 29, 2025.

She was born in Hundred, West Virginia, in Wetzel County, and grew up in Clarksburg, West Virginia. She was the daughter of the late Albert Merle and Mary Maxine (Ferguson) Poland.

Dianna devoted her life to education, music, her faith, and service to others. She was a licensed professional counselor in both West Virginia and Ohio and held teaching certifications in General Elementary Education (K-8) as well as Music Education.

After completing two years at West Virginia Wesleyan, Dianna transferred to Marshall University, where she graduated with honors, earning her bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in vocal performance. Later in life, she returned to school to further her calling to help others, earning a Master of Education in Counseling from Ohio University. Dianna was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, a past president of the Family Crisis Intervention Center, and a member of Chi Sigma Iota, the International Counseling Honor Society.

A gifted musician with a beautiful voice that few forgot, Dianna shared her talents generously throughout her life. She served for several years as Minister of Music at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Vienna, and maintained a music studio in her home, where she taught piano and voice lessons to children and adults throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley. Alongside her late husband, Joe, she also sang with the Larry Parsons Chorale, performing classical music across West Virginia.

Dianna was a woman of deep spiritual faith with a unique gift for compassion and healing. She spent many years as part of the healing ministry at the Memorial Church of the Good Shepherd and was a devoted member of the Order of the Daughters of the King, St. Monica Chapter, at Trinity Episcopal Church.

Her memory will be lovingly held in the hearts of her family, dedicated friends, and church community, including her daughter, Carrie-Meghan Quick-Blanco; her grandson, Laureno Jose Blanco; and her cousin, Shelia Aberegg (Bill).

In addition to her parents, Dianna was preceded in death by her son-in-law, Dr. Harold Blanco in 2016, and her husband, Joseph Howard Quick, in 2018.

A memorial service will be held 11:00 am, Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Trinity Episcopal Church, with The Reverend Geoffrey Mackey officiating.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 to 8:00 pm, Friday at Vaughan Kimes Funeral Home.
