Alice M. Wilson

Alice M. (Kane) Wilson of Weymouth, died peacefully at home, surrounded by her children, on January 16, 2017. She was 94.

Alice grew up in Dorchester and began her career as an operator for New England Telephone Company before marrying the late Walter J. Wilson in 1945 and starting her family.  After many years as a homemaker raising ten children, Alice worked as the secretary at St. Jerome’s School in Weymouth and then later at Archbishop Williams High School in Braintree.

As an active member of her parish, Alice was devoted to her faith and often made christening robes for the newly baptized.  She loved sewing, was a gifted quilter and an enthusiastic participant of the Crosstown Quilter’s Guild of Weymouth.  She thoroughly enjoyed teaching the art to others and often held classes in her home.  

Alice was happiest when spending time with family and friends regardless of whether she was poking in the garden, relaxing in a campsite or just making Irish bread for all to enjoy.
