Anne M. (LeBlanc) “Mrs. Q” Quintiliani, of Foxboro, and formerly of Quincy, died peacefully at her home, surrounded by her loving family on Saturday, November 9, 2019. She was 80 years old.

Anne lived her life in accordance with the Christian Virtues of faith, hope and love. She was a devoted mother to her four daughters’, and a committed member of her community. Anne taught CCD and Pre-Cana at Sacred Heart Church for seventeen years, where she was also a Eucharistic Minister. A generous and selfless person, Anne would do anything for the people in her life, and above all, loved spending time with her family.

Anne was a gifted seamstress and enjoyed knitting blankets and hats for the Brigham and Women’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She proudly made all of her daughter’s wedding gowns, and granddaughters’ first communion dresses.

In her later years, Anne loved to walk her canine companion, Noah, as it gave her the opportunity to exercise, connect with her neighbors and make new friends. Each Sunday, one would find her watching her favorite team, the New England Patriots, with Noah by her side.

In retirement, Anne and her late husband enjoyed traveling in their motorhome cross country, and beyond. She loved to visit  Prince Edward Island, Canada, her parents’ birthplace. Her favorite destination was Disney World, where she would spend the winter months at the Fort Wilderness Campground.

Anne’s loving demeanor, generosity and kindness are part of her legacy that now continues through her children and grandchildren. She will be missed by the many whose lives she touched.
