Julia Lingner (Long) Quade, 89, of California, MD died peacefully at the St. Mary's Nursing Center, Leonardtown, MD. She was born on March 30, 1924 in Oraville, MD, the daughter of the late James Matthew Long and Julia Dorothy Long.

Julia was the loving wife of the late William R. Quade Sr. whom she married on April 24, 1954 in St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Morganza, MD.

She was a lifelong resident of St. Mary's County and graduated from Margaret Brent High School in 1943. She worked for a short time at Southern Maryland Oil, but then spent her remaining years as a homemaker, loving wife and mother.

Julia enjoyed watching the Redskins (especially when John Riggins was playing), taking short trips. One of her favorite places was Stratford Hall in VA. She loved drinking a good, hot cup of coffee, eating chicken wings, watching any Western, watching The Kentucky Derby, loved her pockey books, going to Mass and saying the rosary.

If you were hungry, she always had something there home cooked. She specialized in roast beef, meatloaf, "Poor Man's Soup" and peach cake. Julia loved all her children, grandchildren and her great grandson. She was an unselfish woman with much dignity. May she always be remembered as being free and independent. She was our Mom Moms.

She is survived by her children: Sharon M. Risling of California, MD, Matthew W. Quade (Lori) of Mechanicsville, MD. Step-children: Mary Ellen Rucks of Okeechobee, FL, Frances Ann Holyoak, Catherine R. Mattingly (Billy) and William (Ray) R. Quade, Jr. (Barbara) all of Mechanicsville, MD, Barbara J.
