Carol Gemmiti

Peacefully, surrounded by her family on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 in her 80th year. Beloved wife of Quinty, loving mother of Dean (Susan), Danny, Lisa (Mickey) and Dion (Samantha). Adoring grandmother to Caprice, Colton (Taylor), Olivia, Quinn, Bayley, Brooke, Larissa, Juliana, Vince and Alyssa. Sister of Paul (Kelly) Duggan, and the late Jim, Marie & Mike Duggan. Daughter of the late Betty and Jack Duggan. She will be remembered by all her family, Mary Duggan and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Carol was the heart and soul of our family. A woman of unwavering faith and quiet strength, she filled our lives with laughter, warm smiles, candy jars, and her famous spaghetti and meatballs. She led by example, raising her four strong children with love, grace, and a fierce devotion to family.

She was a proud wife to Quinty, his nurturing partner in life and in their Quinty the Tailor business. Behind the scenes, she kept everything steady – a warm meal always ready, a home filled with love, and a steadfast presence through life’s every turn. Their 60 years of devotion to each other were a living example of commitment, partnership, and unconditional love – a model for us all to love deeply and be there for one another.

Her hands were rarely still, always crafting something special – a crocheted hat, a cozy sweater, or a cherished baby blanket – gifts that wrapped each new life in love. Her kindness extended far beyond our immediate family, touching friends with thoughtful gestures and gentle encouragement.

She was also a proud and ever-present grandmother to ten adoring grandchildren – she was their greatest cheerleader. Whether on the sidelines of a sports field, applauding at a dance recital, or smiling in the crowd at a school event or graduation, her love knew no bounds.

Her legacy lives on in every laugh we share, every warm memory we hold, and in the strong, loving family she built. She was the steady foundation beneath our feet and the light that guided us all. We are who we are because of her.
