Donna M. (Riggio) Hutchinson, 76, of Quincy, passed away October 16, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Donna was raised in Charlestown MA where she met her soul mate and husband Jim. They immediately started a young family living in a small apartment until they bought their first home in Dorchester. Donna was a loving wife and mother. She enjoyed family above all, especially around the holidays. Frequent weekend trips to visit family in Billerica or Medford and weekly visits to her in-laws in Dorchester for dinner and card games, whist in particular. Donna always put her family first, she always looked out for her children before taking care of herself. She was a fiercely devoted wife and mother.

After her children became older, Donna entered the workforce and had a long career as a medical administrator and continued working for several years after her husband retired. Donna was always busy, either working, or taking care of her family and others. She didn’t seem to have an off button. She was always the first one out of bed every morning to make sure Jim and the kids had what they needed for the day.

Donna was an avid Red Sox and Bruins fan, and when the game wasn’t on, she enjoyed video games and reading.

Over the last decade, Donna heroically battled dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. She was brave and strong. Until the very end she remained selfless putting the needs of others above hers.
