Dorothy married the love of her life, Donald Quigley on December 26, 1959 while he was on leave from the Marine Corps. The couple raised their family in Tyngsborough and later moved to Windham, NH.
Dottie loved taking vacations to the beach, especially to her cherished condo in Rye, spending countless hours at Wallis Sands Beach. Dottie and Don loved going on cruises together, typically exploring different countries and beaches, whether as a couple or while traveling with family and friends.
Family was a prime importance to Dottie, she was known as always being the hostess for holidays and family gatherings. Known to her grandsons as "Nini," these boys were absolutely her pride and joy. The cherished name was created by her oldest grandson. She relished the time spent with them, never missing a game, school event or having them over for sleepovers and rootbeer floats.
Dorothy is predeceased by three precious angels, their stillborn children; and her beloved son, Michael Quigley who passed March 1, 2017. She was always so proud of the fact that he called her the funniest person he knew. She is also predeceased by her sister, Judith Buckjune who passed away in 2000.
