August 26, 1927 - July 21, 2022

Carmela Snyder Quig – Age 94, of Newark, DE, peacefully passed away on July 21st, 2022 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on August 26th, 1927 in Ocean City, NJ, daughter of the late George Snyder and Ernestine Estevez Snyder.

Carmela was the Matriarch of her family. She married the love of her life and late husband, Joseph B. Quig Jr., whom she was married to for 71 years, a marriage that was the epitome of true love. They started a family, raising 5 children together. Carmela and Joseph’s love story created a wonderful legacy for their family.

Carmela was a devout Catholic and her faith was an essential part of her life. She was a woman of strength and beauty and she had a heart full of love. Carmela had a classy sense of style and she was a gifted homemaker. She was a wonderful cook and enjoyed entertaining her family. She enjoyed traveling, gardening, playing cards, golfing, boating, and beach vacations, both in DE and at their home in Florida. Carmela’s husband Joseph retired at age 50 granting them the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful and long retirement together.

Carmela’s greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. She will be dearly missed by her 5 children; Joseph B. Quig III (Linda), Sandra S. Ritter (Greg), Michael G. Quig Sr. (Tammy), Tina L. Morgan (Philip), Peter K. Quig (Boeing), 12 grandchildren; Marie, Justin, Matthew, Meredith, Michael Jr., Cody, Luke, Ashley, Jennifer, Alexandra, Emily, Victoria, 14 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren.

Carmela touched many lives and will always be remembered for her love and kindness. She was a remarkable woman, and her beautiful soul will stay with us forever.

The family would like to acknowledge and give thanks to the staff at Paramount Senior Living for the compassionate and loving care that Carmela received.

Private services will be held by the family.

Just want to let you know that I was sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.

Tina , Phil and to all the family. My deepest condolences. Sorry for your loss.

Our heartfelt condolences to all of our cousins on the loss of your Mom. Aunt Chini was revered in our house growing up (as was Uncle Joe!). I have many fond memories of visiting their home in Delaware with the beautiful shady backyard and of visits from them in various places we lived. I even had a chance meeting with Uncle Joe and Aunt Chini in Disney World when I was a freshman in college, traveling with a friend and her family. Aunt Chini paused for a second until she realized who this strange young woman who was hugging her husband was! ? I was surprised to learn she was born in Ocean City, NJ. My own family has been vacationing there for 20 years. We were there this past week when she died. It will forever have a special place in our hearts, now even more so knowing the connection to Aunt Chini. May she rest in peace ( or more likely stir things up with my Mom by her side). Love to all, Kelly, Randy, Catherine, and Charlotte

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
