Mary Carlon, born March 21, 1923, to the late Frederick and Francelina (Pimental) Bosh, passed away peacefully at her home in Attleboro, MA on September 16, 2025.

Mary, a loving and cherished member of the community, lived a joyful life filled with laughter, love, and genuine care for those around her. She was a dedicated salesperson in her active years, working with Bellavance, Fuller Hospital, and Sears. She was a fervent sports fan, passionately supporting the Red Sox, Patriots, and NASCAR. Besides, she had an undying love for the casino, shopping, and travel, but above all, her family was her most precious asset.

Rodney Carlon, of Florida, Nancy Ouellette and her husband Raymond, of Attleboro, MA; Granddaughter, Kayla Ouellette, of Woonsocket, RI and Grandson, Raymond Ouellette, of Attleboro, MA; many nieces and nephews; and her beloved dog Andrew.

Along with her parents Mary was preceded in death by, her loving husband, Herbert Carlon, Sr.; brother's, Manuel, Frederick, Joseph, and John Bosh; sisters, Virginia Guilmette, Dorothy Boudreau, and Linda Ilkowitz; as well as her partner of many years, Jesse Hayes.

Special thanks go to Melissa, her nurse, Colleen, her Nurse Practitioner, and the family members who were instrumental in caring for Mary.
