Baby Boomer (born 1943 to 1963)
 
Emily Morris deQuincey-Newman was the only child of civil rights and social justice pioneers the late Reverend Dr. Isaiah DeQuincey and Anne Hinton Newman. Born in Walterboro, she grew up in Charleston and Columbia, attending public schools at the inception of desegregation and graduated from Wofford College in 1977.

At the time of her death, she was chaplain of the Columbia chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution where she was former chapter regent. She was also a member of the Society of Descendants of Washington's Army at Valley Forge. She regarded membership in lineage societies as her duty and pleasure.

Emily was a longtime parishioner of the Church of Saint Peter (now the Basilica of Saint Peter), serving as a mentor to catechumens and as extraordinary minister of Holy Communion. Her insights about faith in action were unfailingly shared with any interlocutor.

She will always be remembered for her grace, compassion, intellect and wit, and as the ineffable blessing that she was to countless friends. As one special friend remembered, "Emily was an intellectually precocious child who matured into a phenomenal adult. She was full of courage to follow her own path, spoke in her own inimitable style, deployed a wicked and wonderful sense of humor, quoted arcane and fanciful people and facts, and engendered loyal and lifelong loving friendships."
 
Emily passed away on October 29, 2022.
