Answer

You cannot transfer something you do not have. The fact it was not recorded does not mean it cannot be recorded now. If she lost it, the title company should assist her in filing a new one.

The problem is she refuses to sign the quit claim deed now

Accepted Answer

You need to try to obtain a copy. A lawyer may have a copy. The bank may have a copy. The court may have misplaced it. It needs to be located to prove the transfer. Kindly accept my answer.
