Julia “Julie” (Corcoran) McAuliffe, age 92, a lifelong resident of West Quincy, died peacefully, Thursday, October 22, 2026 at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, in the comfort of her loving family.
Julie was born in West Quincy, to the late Jerome F. “Frank” and Adeline (Gaudiano) Corcoran. Raised and educated there, she was a graduate of Quincy High School, Class of 1952. After graduation, she met the love of her life, the late John E. McAuliffe and they settled down together in West Quincy. Julie and John went on to have four children. She was the devoted mother of Darrin M. McAuliffe and his wife Cecelia Costigan of Braintree, Kelly A. Kennedy of West Quincy, Brenda E. Ringer and her husband Jeff of West Wareham, and Glen R. McAuliffe and his wife Theresa of Braintree.
After dedicating much of her life to being a homemaker, Julie then went on to be a secretary in the City of Quincy DPW for fifteen years. She retired in 2000 and thoroughly enjoyed her retirement being a voracious reader, finishing crossword puzzles, and taking daily walks.
Most of all, Julie cherished time spent with her family playing cards and board games as well as watching her boys perform live music. She loved being surrounded by her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and nieces and nephews, actively supporting their many activities and accomplishments.
Julie was the loving Grammy of Leanne, Haley, Shannan, Jordan, Katelyn, Jeffrey, Juliana, Savannah, and Isabella and the cherished great grandmother of Quinn and Raegan.
She was the dear sister of William Corcoran of Braintree, and predeceased by Genevieve A. Bertoni and John F. Corcoran. Julie is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and their families.
Julie was a longtime active parishioner of Saint Mary’s Church in West Quincy.
