I would describe it as a Paraphrase, but I've never seen it in quotation marks before.

Quote:
A paraphrase is...
your own rendition of essential information and ideas expressed by someone else, presented in a new form.
one legitimate way (when accompanied by accurate documentation) to borrow from a source.
a more detailed restatement than a summary, which focuses concisely on a single main idea.

Since she is summarizing from several uncles it's easier to paraphrase them (summing up all of their sentiments in a single quote) than to exactly quote each uncle.
