Frances Mason Obituary
She was born in Dorchester County on Feb. 5, 1918, to Walter F. and Phila Rumbley who preceded her in death.
The family moved to Newtown, PA, where she attended schools through her teenage years. The family then moved to Baltimore, where she met Harold Mason Jr. who she married on Sept. 29, 1943. That union lasted 60 years, until his death in 2004.
Frances worked in the office at Waverly Press in Baltimore for many years. Her and Harold then became owners of an antique shop in the Baltimore area, to follow their passion for antique collecting. Upon retirement in 1998, she and Harold returned to their roots on the Eastern Shore, moving to Easton. After Harold's death, she returned to Cambridge to be closer to her immediate family.
Frances was affectionately known to most family and friends as "Nan" or "Nana".
Surviving Frances is her daughter, Patricia L. Aaron; grandson, Stephen L. Aaron (Judy); granddaughter, Brenda Aaron Johnson (Chris); great grandsons: Stephen L. Aaron Jr.; 1/LT. L. Hunter Aaron, USMC; great granddaughter, Taylor R. Johnson; and many loving nieces and nephews.
Preceding her in death, besides her husband and parents, was a stepfather, Charles Depew; a sister, H. Nona Medford; brothers: Walter L. Rumbley, Daniel E. Rumbley; and son in law, Rudy Aaron.
Serving as pallbearers will be Stephen Aaron, Stephen Aaron Jr., Glenn Rumbley, Kevin Rumbley, Dan Rumbley and Chris Rumbley.
