She graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in 1949 and in 1952 she married James Daniel Quintiliani. They raised their family in Newburgh until 1987 when she and her husband moved to Sea Colony in Palm Coast, Florida. Annamae was very active in her community and loved by all who knew her.

She was a member of Santa Maria del Mar Catholic Church, and volunteered there as well as for the Flagler County Turtle Patrol. She loved walking the beach and enjoyed playing bridge and Mahjong with her friends from Sea Colony. Annamae loved to dance, especially the polka, and enjoyed playing her piano and collecting elephant figurines. Her greatest love was being with her family. She was an extraordinary Mother, and her children will cherish the memories of this amazing and very special woman.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband James Daniel Quintiliani in 2008, her daughter, Anne Quintiliani in 2005, and her sweet little dachshund Katie in 2012.
