Vicki MATTSON Obituary

MATTSON, Vicki L. (Fryer) Age 70, was taken from her family and friends unexpectedly on November 29, 2022, in her and her husband's Marshfield home. Vicki was born, raised and educated in Weymouth, where she graduated from Weymouth High School in 1970. She began dating Buddy at the age of 15 years old, and they remained inseparable ever since. This upcoming year would have been their 50th wedding anniversary. After high school, Vicki worked at John Hancock but took a break from there after marrying her beloved husband, Buddy, in 1973 to start a family and be home with the children in their early years. After working many years at John Hancock, she moved onto Home Depot in Rockland in 1996, and then to Home Depot in Plymouth to be able to work with Buddy.

Vicki was a Past Worthy Advisor for Wessagusett Rainbow for Girls. She was also a previous member of Eastern Star.

Vicki loved taking trips with her children when they were young to Disney World in Florida, and camping trips to Maine, especially Old Orchard Beach in the family RV. She was very fond of the casino, where she and Buddy would play slots together. Vicki always thought of others ahead of her own needs, famous for her generosity and an open-door. Above all, Vicki loved her family, she adored her grandchildren and never missed a chance to spoil them and attend any sporting or band event they had going on. She was truly a generous and fun-loving mother and nana.

Vicki is predeceased by her parents, Thomas C. and Margaret E. (Lindsey) Fryer. She is survived by her loving children, Kristin Robinson and her husband Bill of Rockland, Jeffrey of Arizona; her grandchildren, Billy, Vivian, and Alanah; her siblings, Linda Fowler and her husband Curt, Butch Fryer and his wife Eilene; her brother in-law; Larry Sole and her late sister, Janice Sole. Vicki was also very loved by her many nieces and nephews.

Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend a visitation for Vicki and Carl in the C.C. Shepherd Funeral Home, located at 134 Pleasant Street (Columbian Sq.), WEYMOUTH, MA, on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, from 4-8 pm. Friends will gather in Old South Union Church, located at 25 Columbian St., S. Weymouth, MA 02190, on Thursday morning, December 8, for a Funeral Service that will begin promptly at 10 am. Vicki and Buddy will be interred together at a later date.

I remember Vicki from Rainbow in the late 60s. The entire Fryer family were kind and loving and Vicki was a friend to me. I also remember Buddy, blonde and cute, always on the periphery keeping an eye out for Vicki. I am so sorry for this loss. Buddy and Vicki were always together and they still are.
