Dear Magda,
Below is my printout on Phyllis - it may be of some help:
QUICK, MISS PHYLLIS MAY. Saved in Lifeboat number 11.
Born 27th July 1909.
Died 15th March 1954, and was buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetery, Detroit, Michigan, Section 20, lot 1542.
Family stayed together in lifeboat, Mrs. Quick was adamant that the family would not be separated.
(From The Emergency and Relief booklet by the American Red Cross, 1913).
Case number 384. (English). A mother 31 years of age, and two small children, coming to join her husband in Michigan lost baggage, insured for $125 and $200 in cash. They received hospital care, clothing, and $100 from other American sources of relief. ($400).

(From the Detroit Journal, April 20, 1912).
Mrs. Jane Quick, wife of Frederick Quick 383 Brooklyn Avenue, with her two daughters, one aged eight and the other three years, all survivors of the Titanic, also arrived on the same train with Mrs Hamlin.
''Jane''! cried a mans voice as Mrs. Quick prepared to step from the coach with her children. A man rushed up, unconscious of the stares of curious travellers, and took his wife in his arms. The two children danced with glee at the pleasure of being home again with their father.
''Oh Fred, it was terrible'', sobbed Mrs. Quick as she buried her head on her husband's shoulder, ''I never expected to see my loved ones again''.
Mrs. Quick and her children came from Plymouth, England, to join her husband who works for a Detroit contractor.
With her children Mrs. Quick was placed in lifeboat 11.''
Our boat was one of the first to leave the ship . . .
(From the Exeter Flying Post, April 20th 1912)
