Dorothy M. (Lindsey) Fantucchio, age 93, of Quincy, died peacefully, Sunday, August 24, 2025 at Hancock Park Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Quincy, in the comfort of her loving family.

Dorothy was born in Milford, to the late Harold J. and Amelia (Brenna) Lindsey. Raised and educated there, she was a graduate of Milford High School, and was voted Best Dressed for the Class of 1949. After marriage and a baby, she moved to Quincy, where she lived for the remainder of her life.

Dorothy was a woman of faith and a longtime parishioner of Saint John the Baptist Church in Quincy where she served as a religious education teacher for several years.

Most of all, Dorothy's passion was for her family. She was a quiet person, devoted to her husband, children and later to her grandchildren and great grandchildren, supporting all their many activities and accomplishments. She was a very generous woman to her family, to others and to charitable causes.
