Choyce Ann Quigley

HUDSON – Choyce Ann Quigley, 81, of Hudson, died early Monday morning October 25, 2021 peacefully at ProMedica Toledo Hospital. Born December 26, 1939 at Thorn Hospital in Hudson, Choyce was the daughter of Harold Abling and Jane (Webster) Strayer. Choyce graduated from Morenci High School in 1957. She had the opportunity to attend Interlochen Music Camp near Traverse City in the summers of 1955 and 1957. She then studied voice at the University of Michigan Music School and Adrian College. Choyce was humbled when she was asked to be a member of the Committee to save the future of the Croswell Theatre. She was the officer manager at the Croswell from 1969 to 1970 and would often take her daughter, Cathy with her to explore the theatre and look in all the dark corners. Singing was Choyce’s passion. She was honored to be a member of the Lenawee Community Chorus for over 40 years, performing many Soprano solos. Her dream growing up was to perform in the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. However, as time went on, God had other plans. Choyce’s Christian walk grew very strong as she directed church choirs and sang in church. This was her way of telling others about her love for Jesus. Choyce was an active member of the Morenci Church of the Nazarene. Choyce married the love of her life, Jack Quigley, on August 16, 1969 at the Nazarene Church in Adrian. They shared a marriage filled with love, compatibility, and a strong faith. They often spoke of their many wonderful family memories. Every opportunity Choyce had to share her gift of singing, Jack was always in the audience cheering her on. Following her retirement from office work in Adrian, she and Jack opened a log home Bed and Breakfast on the family farm. Together, they welcomed guests from all over the world for more than 20 years. Choyce is survived by her children, Jacqueline (Eddie) Cansler of Hartford, IN, Shelley (Mark) LeRoy of Townsend, DE, Cathy Hoberty of Westfield, IN; and Patrick (Billi Jo) Quigley of Hudson; 10 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and her sister, Martha Reppert. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jack, on September 14, 2018 after more than 49 years of marriage; son Russell Quigley; and brother-in-law, Charles Reppert. A memorial service for Choyce will take place on Tuesday, November 9, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. at Wagley Funeral Home, Adrian with Rev. Dusty Pauken and Rev. Larry Betz officiating. Burial will follow at Oak Grove Cemetery in Morenci.
