Mrs. Quincey was on the reserve list of the Division up to the time of her death (which occurred at her residence, 112, High-street), and only a few weeks ago rendered first aid to people who were involved in an accident outside her house. She was the widow of the late Mr. Jacob Quincey, a farmer's bailiff, and came to Higham Ferrers as a young man, having previously lived at Liverpool, where she was born and where she received her nursing training. At Higham Ferrers Mrs. Quincey became a member of the local St. John Ambulance Division, and held the position of Lady Superintendent for five years. For the past six years she had been on the reserve. Throughout the Great War she served on the staff of the V.A.D. hospital in the Higham Ferrers Parish Rooms. She was also one of the founders of the local branch of the B.W.T.A., and was a trustee of that organisation up to the time of her death.

A staunch Methodist, Mrs. Quincey was a member of the Women's Bright Hour and Sewing Meetings in connection with the Higham Ferrers church. For the past thirty years she had kept confectionery business. She was greatly respected by the people of the town, and always willing to perform a kindly or charitable notion. Every Feast Saturday she would go into the streets, in spite of her age, and sell roses on behalf of the Northampton General Hospital.

There are two sons, Mr. Ernest Pimblett Quincey and Mr. Harry Rowton Quincey, the latter living in South Africa.
