Alice Fraher-Mason Obituary

Alice Fraher-Mason, 91, of Weymouth, formerly of Quincy went home to be with the Lord at Care One Nursing Home on Sunday April 19, 2020, after complications from the COVID-19 virus. Alice was preceded in death by both of her loving husbands William Fraher of Weymouth, Mass. and Ralph Mason of Adamsville, Tenn. Alice was always a hard worker and took pride in everything she did, first as the manager of colonial federal savings bank in Holbrook and then as a customer sales representative both at Talbots in Hingham and at Kohl's in Hingham before retiring. She enjoyed all of the pleasures life has to offer including reading her books, woman's bible study, dancing, and having fun with her endless amount of friends, but most of all she enjoyed spending time with her family whom she was constantly surrounded by up until the very end. She was the loving mother of Robin Russell and her husband Joseph of Weymouth as well as Janet McCann and her husband John of Pembroke. She is survived by both of her daughters as well as her 6 grandchildren, Joseph Russell Jr., Tracy Watt, Taylor Morais, William Russell, Jina Smith and Jill Adams along with 12 great-grandchildren whom she loved dearly. She will be remembered for her lovable yet feisty personality and her sarcastic sense of humor that always made everyone smile. In lieu of a service, a Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date. To leave a sympathy message for the family, please visit Magounbiggins.com.

Robin, Janet and Family. I am so sad to hear of the loss of your beautiful Mom, Alice. I loved her. She was one of the nicest people I've ever had the honor to have known. I wish all your happy memories of her, and there were a lot, bring you some comfort at this time of sadness.

So sorry to hear of Alice's passing. I worked with Alice at Talbot's and she was such fun! Always a party person she made some great favorites my famity still enjoys especially broccoli salad and shrimp salad. If some of us were going out to celebrate a coworker 's birthday she would be the first to sign up. Always generous, she would have a little gift to share be it an angel or one day she brought in a St Joseph statue fir a co-worker having a hard time selling her house. Lots of fond memories! Bet she's glad there are no wakes right now because she would just want a big party! Bless her and your family

I was so sorry to hear that Alice passed away. We used to work together at Kohl's in Hingham. She worked in Customer Service and I worked in the Jewelry Department. She was a wonderful person and very helpful to the Kohl's customers. Our birthdays were one day apart. I still have the little angel statute she gave me. Fond memories will live on in those who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
