Mona G. "Crispo" Chase

Mona G. Chase (Crispo), age 92, a long-time resident of Wilmington, passed away peacefully at home on August 10, 2025, surrounded by her family.

Mona was born in Wilmington, MA, on June 4, 1933; she was the cherished daughter of the late Joseph and Margaret (Travis) Crispo. Mona grew up in the Silver Lake area of Wilmington where she enjoyed skating and swimming and made many life-long friends.

In later years, Mona enjoyed camping with family and friends at her beloved Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire.

Mona married "the love of her life" Adrene "Rene" Chase; the couple made their home in Wilmington where they raised their family. Mona will be fondly remembered as a beautiful lady inside and out; she was kind, caring, and most of all a dedicated wife, mother to her six children, and grandmother. She will forever be missed by all who knew and loved her.

Mona was the loving Grammy of 15 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. She is pre-deceased by her siblings Margaret Babanas, John Crispo, Claire Troy, Alfred Crispo, and Charlotte Gray and is further survived by many nieces and nephews.
