Rene Mae Quillen

July 22, 1946 — September 12, 2025

Rene (Bartlinski) Quillen 79, was born on July 22, 1946, in Washington, DC to Hazel and Charles Bartlinski, and passed away peacefully on Friday September 12, 2025, after long, hard-fought battle with her health.  Her family is deeply heartbroken but takes comfort in that she will be joining her husband, Mother, and other loved ones in Heaven.  She loved, and was loved by all, especially her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson. Rene loved going to her grandson’s soccer games, watching him do Taekwondo, and celebrating birthdays and holidays with her family.

Rene is preceded in death by her husband Curtis Lester, her parents Charles and Hazel (Davis) Bartlinski, her brothers, Walter (Butch), and Robert (Bobby) Bartlinski, and Theodore (Teddy) McDonald.  Rene is survived by her daughter Cheryl (Quillen) Barile and son-in-law Philip Barile, grandson Logan Barile, brother Ronald (Ronnie) and sister-in-law Anita (Brady) Bartlinski, sister-in-law Ernestine (Rouse) Myers, numerous nieces and nephews, and extended family members.

Our family appreciates all the prayers and love sent her way and thank all her caregivers over the years.
