Angeline M. Quinn

Angeline Maria Donchez Quinn, of Bethlehem and Avalon, NJ, passed away June 26, 2018. Angie was the beloved wife of B. T. Jude Quinn, Esquire with whom she shared thirty nine years of marriage prior to his death in June of 1998.

A loyal native of Bethlehem, Angie was the daughter of Julius F. and Angeline Belletti Donchez. She graduated from Liberty High School in 1952 and received her BA from Moravian College and MA from Lehigh University. Angie initially taught elementary school in the Bethlehem Township school district.

She continued her teaching career as “Mrs. Quinn” in the Upper Merion school district having married Jude, a third year Villanova law school student. These were their halcyon days, living on love and forging friendships that lasted for decades. Angie retired from teaching shortly before the birth of her first child as she and Jude returned to the Lehigh Valley to raise their family. With her sociability, education background, and seemingly infinite energy, Angie was involved in many civic organizations. She served as President of the Womens Council of the Bethlehem Boys Club, volunteered for the Ladies Aid Society and Saucon Valley school district PTA, and was on the Board of Directors of the Lehigh Valley Guidance Council. In the latter capacity Angie co chaired the annual Bridge Day fundraiser for many years, combining her passion for childrens causes and love of bridge.

An avid bridge player, Angie was a member of several bridge clubs as well as Saucon Valley Country Club. She has a proud Villanova and Notre Dame parent and loved visiting the campuses even after her children had graduated. She enjoyed traveling and always looked forward to returning to her summer home in Avalon, NJ. Angie had been a parishioner of Assumption of the BVM Church for 51 years.

Angie is survived by her children Bernard E. Jude Quinn, Esquire and his wife Merri Jo Gillette of Evanston, Illinois, Julie Quinn Fantozzi and her husband, Vincent, of Allentown, PA, and Elizabeth “Betsy” Minnich and her husband, Chuck, of Wayne, PA, sister Maria (Mrs. James) Ramberger of Newport News, VA, and grandchildren, Daniel, Dillon, and Rory Quinn, Megan and Alyson Meadows, Charlie, Jude, and Moira Minnich, and Quinn and Enzo Fantozzi. In addition to her husband and parents, Angie is predeceased by her sister Catherine Donchez McGovern and sister-in- law, Regina M. Quinn.

The family is grateful for the care and compassionate treatment Angie received from Dr. Yacoub Faroun and the entire staff of St. Lukes Hematology Oncology since 2010. You were the silver lining in this dreadful cloud.
