September 10, 1931 - January 19, 2020
Jean M. Quinn of Johnstown, NY, entered into rest peacefully at Mountain Valley Hospice on Sunday, January 19th, 2020. She was born September 10, 1931 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of the late Frank and Marie Turnberger. She graduated from Misericordia College in Pennsylvania. Jean worked for many years at the Fulton County Department of Social Services from which she retired in 1994. Jean enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed cross-country skiing and loved the ocean; and spent many vacations on the beaches in Maine. She especially loved visiting the Franciscan Monastery in Kennebunkport, Maine. Jean had many friends at Trackside Apartments where she resided and they often got together to celebrate birthdays or to just visit and enjoy a warm summer’s night. One of her favorite holidays was St. Patrick’s Day, on which she celebrated over the years with family and friends. There was always plenty of food and Irish music. She greatly enjoyed cooking a good Irish dinner and considered herself very fortunate to have taken several trips to Ireland. She is survived by: Debbie Quinn Skowronek of Gloversville, NY, Kevin (MariJo) Quinn of Johnstown, NY, Cathy Quinn of Colonie, NY, Jimmy Quinn of Johnstown, NY, Beth (Randy) Miller of Greenfield Center, NY and her grandchildren, Ian, Dylan, Elizabeth, Derek and Ryan and several nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Jean’s memory may be made to Mountain Valley Hospice, 108 Steele Avenue, Gloversville, New York 12078. The family would also like to thank the staff at Nathan Littauer Hospital and Mountain Valley for all the loving care that was given to their Mom. Funeral arrangements are under the care of the A.G.
