Carmen M. Quirk died peacefully in her home on March 30, 2025, surrounded by loving family at the age of 93. She was a remarkable individual born on January 25, 1932, in Madrid, Spain, to Sofia and Jose Madroñal.

In January 1957, Carmen severed as a civilian translator for the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command.  On November 29, 1959, she married George Quirk in Madrid, Spain. She then moved to the United States and settled in Weehawken, New Jersey where she started her family. She achieved her educational goals by earning a bachelor's degree in criminal justice in June 1983. She was a detective with the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office from 1976 to 1998 where she showcased her dedication to justice and continued her vital work as an agent until December 2011.

Carmen's spirit lives on through her loving family: her daughter, Carmen and her husband, Anthony DeEsposito Sr.; her grandson, Anthony, and his wife Christine; and her grandson, Christian.  She leaves behind a legacy of strength, commitment, and love and will deeply be missed.
