For the last decade of her life, she resided at Linden Ponds in Hingham, MA, where she was pleasantly surprised by the many wonderful friendships she formed at this late stage in her life. She was a member of three choral groups and stayed busy volunteering her time at the Treasure Chest and serving as a Greeter for new residents.

She leaves her son, Gregory J. Quinn and his wife Patricia of Glen Burnie, MD; her daughter, Lisa Q. Freter and her husband Dr. Rolf Freter of Waterville Valley, NH; her grandchildren, Kathryn Quinn, Brendan Quinn, Emma Freter-Perry and her husband Michael Perry, Lindsay Freter, and Gillian Freter; her great-granddaughter, Frankie Freter-Perry; her sister Margaret (Hobson) Corbett of Niantic, CT; as well as dozens of nieces and nephews. She was the sister of the late James Hobson, Alice (Hobson) Blanchette, Pauline Hobson, George Hobson, William Hobson, Martha (Hobson) Kiley, Edward Hobson, Daniel Hobson and Richard Hobson.
