Millicent J. Roos

Millicent J. Roos of Quincy, formerly of Randolph and Dorchester passed away suddenly on Saturday, December 18, 2021.  She was 90.  Millicent was born in New Bedford to John C. Breault and Mildred E. (Duhaime) and raised in Chatham.  After graduating high school, she moved to Boston working at Crawford Hall and later the United Shoe until she started her family. Once her children were old enough Millie started her second career as a preschool teacher’s assistant. She worked at various schools and loved helping the children.

In her spare time she was a Eucharistic Minister and pioneered what some would call the Heart Stone Ministry.  If you had met Millie, chances are she gifted you a small heart stone to keep with you.  She had a beautiful gift to read people and help bring them comfort.  She touched many lives, whether you were family, a friend, a stranger at the grocery store or even the Cardinal.  She was selfless, caring and had an innate desire to help anyone and everyone.  She enjoyed being with people.  It didn’t have to be a special occasion just being with her family, grandchildren or friends brought her much joy. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Devoted wife to the late Arthur W. Roos, Jr.. Beloved mother to Michele Spiro and her husband Scott of Weymouth, and Karl Roos and his wife Marsha of Quincy.  Loving grandmother of Mark Lugas, Erica Spiro, Kristin Spiro, Cam Spiro, Zachary Roos, Jacob Roos, and Elizabeth Roos.

She is predeceased by her siblings: Jacqueline Cotter and Milton Breault.
