Sandra Keating McDonough (Sandy), passed away on the evening of March 7, 2022, at the age of 70. Sandy was born in South Boston on April 4, 1951 to the late Charles and Eleanor (Bacchiocchi) Keating. She lived and raised her family in Quincy, Massachusetts for the past 34 years. Sandy enjoyed spending her time with her family, raising her five grandchildren, gardening in her yard, spending time at the beach and extensively decorating for the holidays. Sandy was selfless, sarcastic, stubborn and a proud 'Nana'. She spent many years waitressing at local restaurants where she made many of her friends.
Sandy will be loved and missed by surviving husband, John McDonough of Quincy; daughter Susan Cleary of Quincy; grandchildren: Brittany McIntyre and husband Sean McIntyre of Quincy, Marissa King of South Boston, Jared and Madison McDonough of Quincy and Julianna Lanzilli of Quincy; great grandchildren Brendan and Emma McIntyre of Quincy; and brother Charles Keating of Brookline. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Erin McDonough of Quincy, and sisters: Laura Green of Morrison, Illinois, Sue Spiliakos of Marshfield, and Charlene Brito of Newburyport.
At Sandy's request, no services will be held and her ashes will be scattered along the beach at a later date. The family invites you to please celebrate Sandy's memory in your own ways as she will remain with everyone in spirit. Thank you for understanding during this difficult time.
