In addition to White Sulphur, which is now called Pickwick, Mrs. Qualls had also lived in Duncans Landing, which is now called Bruton Branch, and moved to Savannah in 1928.
She was a kind gentle lady who answered to many names: her siblings and their wives called her "Dutch"; her first grandchild, Jack, called her "Nanny"; however, her son Keith's children called her "Granny"; her great-grandchildren called her "Gran-Nan"; she was loved by a host of nieces, nephews, and friends that called her "Aunt Dutchie".
