Alice F. Hammarstrom

Hammarstrom, Alice F. (Locke) of Weymouth, passed away after her battle with Alzheimer's on January 6, 2025. She was 84.

Known affectionately as the "mother of the neighborhood," Alice's nurturing spirit extended far beyond her own family of six children, touching the lives of countless individuals throughout her remarkable life.

Born with an innate sense of compassion, Alice dedicated over 30 years to the noble profession of maternity nursing at Brockton Hospital.

Her unwavering dedication to her patients exemplified her loving and kind nature, earning her the deep respect and admiration of her colleagues and those she cared for.

 Alice's nurturing did not end at the hospital doors; her home was a sanctuary of love and laughter. Her garden, a testament to her patience and gentle touch, bloomed with as much vibrancy as the life she cultivated within her family and community. Her love for singing and dancing brought joy to many gatherings, creating memories that would echo in the hearts of friends and family for years to come.

 The loss of her beloved husband in 2014 was a profound sadness for Alice, yet she continued to embody strength and grace, leaving a legacy of kindness that will forever be cherished. Alice was well-loved by all who knew her, and her memory will be held in the highest regard, a testament to a life lived with boundless love and gentle kindness. Her passing leaves a void in the fabric of her community, but her luminous spirit will continue to inspire and guide us. Alice F. Hammarstrom will be profoundly missed, yet her light will persist in the countless lives she touched.
