RICHARD MAHONEY Obituary

MAHONEY, Richard F. Of Huntington Avenue, in Boston, passed away peacefully on August 24, 2025, at the age of 80, surrounded by his loving family. Born on February 19, 1945, Richie was the beloved son of the late Mary Agnes (MacIsaac) and Thomas Mahoney. He was predeceased by his parents, his sister, Mary Bailey (Bob); and brothers, Thomas Mahoney and John "Jack" Mahoney. Richie grew up in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. His career in the HVAC business took him across the country, first to Santa Monica, California and later, to Las Vegas. In 1996, Richie returned home to his beloved Mission Hill and lived out his remaining years among family, friends, and familiar streets. He is survived by his cherished nieces, Elaine Bailey of Ashland, Carol Rocheleau of Rhode Island and Stacy Mahoney of Topanga, CA; his nephews, Brian Mahoney of Sudbury and Brendan Mahoney and his wife, Lauren, of Sudbury; as well as his great-niece, Caleigh Giguere; great-nephews, Colton Bailey and Michael Mahoney. Richard will be remembered for his devotion to family, his pride in his roots and his enduring sense of humor and warmth. His wish was to be laid to rest beside his father. He will be deeply missed. Relatives and friends are invited to attend. Visitation will be held on Thursday, August 28, from 5:00 to 7:00 P.M., in The Robert J. Lawler and Crosby Funeral Home, 1803 Centre St., WEST ROXBURY. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Basilica, 1545 Tremont Street, Mission Hill, Boston, MA 02115, on Friday, August 29, at 10:00 A.M., with Burial at St. Joseph Cemetery, West Roxbury. www.lawlerfuneralhome.com 617323-5600
