Jamie reveled in banter, was an avid outdoors woman and adventurer, enjoying jogging, primitive camping, flying with the Commemorative Air Force, kayaking, diving, hiking, traveling, cooking and was inseparable from her devoted partner, Keri. As well as being a devoted mom, she was tenacious, hardworking and ever cheerful, with an irrepressible positive outlook. These qualities served her, and those who loved her, as she coped with the last stages of her illness. Along with her own family, she will be greatly missed by the Quinn family and her ever expansive constellation of dear friends.
