Orpah Quigley
Born March 3, 1950 and died on August 6, 2015.

Orpah Quigly was born and raised in Kilvert, Ohio for many years. As she took her exit from this earth, her beloved mother Ruth Quigley, father Mahlon Quigley, and dear brother Obed Quigley are the only surviving relatives that she had. These people are also members of the Kilvert Communtiy, so we will all be there for them in there time of sadness. Orpah was a stong, independent woman who was really into the arts. She loved to draw and play her wonderful citar instrument. She was a unique person who found love with a professional mourner and lived out the rest of her life doing his line of work. Unfortunately on the rainy night of August 6, Orpah was coming home from the cemetary and lost control of her vehicle due to the wet roads and slammed hard into a pole, and died on impact. She will be surely missed and God Bless her soul.

Rest In Peace!
