Carver, MA

Fredric (Fred) D. Lewis Born in Manhattan, Fred attended the Adelphi Academy in Brooklyn after his letter to Hogwarts got lost in the mail. Fred went on to graduate from the University of Denver, after declining to be trained as a Jedi due to the Jedi Council's oddball elitism and their silly restrictions against personal attachments. Fred was recognized with the highest accolades, including Top Salesman, by his employers Bridgeport Machine and Richard's Microtool; the former being involved in the research and development of top secret field technologies for MI6 (You're welcome, Mr. Bond), and the latter being a subsidiary of Pym Tech playing an essential role in the advancment of our working understanding of "Pym Particles" for practical applications (You're welcome, half the universe). Fred was a connoisseur of hot sauces, an avid collector of model cars, and the highest winning Jeopardy contestant of all time hypothetically. Survived by his son Alexander, his daughter Elizabeth, and his wife Margo; Fred will be reunited on the other side by his father Arthur, his mother Anne, his brother Peter, and all the pets he ever loved (there were a lot). Fred's family suspects he will be excited to use wisdom only accessible from beyond the veil to solve all of the conspiracy theories that piqued his interest during life. His family trusts that Fred knows his ghost is more than welcome to pop in for a visit when possible. In the meantime, he will be missed immensely.

Judith Morris

Judith Morris

Age - 78

December 8, 2023

Judy White Morris of Duxbury passed away on November 27 at the age of 78 after a long illness. Judy was the second daughter born to Stanley and Janice (Buck) White on April 25, 1945. She was raised in Holbrook by her mother and father along with two sisters and a brother. Always a creative person, Judy was voted "Most Artistic" in her high school class. She went on to attend Massachusetts College of Art for painting in the 1960's. Following that, she used her painting and graphic design skills, along with her singular fashion sense, in her job as head designer for the Filene's Department Store in Boston until it sadly closed its doors for the final time decades later. Judy's responsibilities included designing and managing the installation of seasonal store displays for all Filene's locations. Her storefront Christmas holiday window displays drew crowds of shoppers to the area each year so that they could determine whether Judy's Filene's window designs were again superior to the Macy's display across the street. During that time, Judy continued to produce her own artwork which could be found for sale in art shops along Charles Street, close to where she lived for many years on Beacon Hill. A huge fan of rock and roll, Judy and her husband Mitch never missed an opportunity to see their favorite bands, the Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop and many others live at the local concert venues. Her extensive rock band t-shirt collection was to be admired. After her retirement, Judy and Mitch and their beloved cats moved to their house in Duxbury. There she continued to make paintings, elaborate holiday, birthday and special occasion cards, and spend time with her extended family. Her 4th of July gatherings were a yearly highlight for family and friends. Judy is survived by her husband Mitch Miller of Duxbury, sister Elizabeth White of Yarmouthport, brother Norman White and his wife Donna, of Pembroke. She was the aunt to Scott Fader and his wife Laura of Hanover and Nicole White of Crockett CA. Judy was predeceased by her sister Linda Fader and husband Robert. Judy was an incredibly kind, thoughtful and beautiful woman who is already missed by those who love her. Visitation hours will take place on December 16th from 10am to 12 at the Shepherd Funeral Home, 216 Main St. , Kingston MA. A graveside service will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Standish Humane Society, Alzheimer's Association or amfAR.Show more

Age - 74

November 22, 2023

Douglas Govoni, 74, passed away peacefully on November 17th, 2023 surrounded by loved ones. Douglas was born in 1949 to his parents, the late George and Florence (Baker) Govoni. He is survived by his two loving children; his son Douglas Govoni II and his wife Stefanie Govoni of Kingston as well as his daughter Devon Govoni and her fiance Christopher Collins of Plymouth and of course his granddaughter Vanessa whom he adored. He is also survived by his sister Carol (Govoni) Thomas of Plymouth (preceded in death by the late William Thomas), brother Dennis Govoni and his wife Jeanne Govoni of Dighton, his former wife and longtime friend Janet Hussey of Plymouth and his many nieces and nephews. Born and raised in Duxbury, Massachusetts, a young Douglas worked in the Govoni family's construction business during the day and played guitar and sang in various rock bands at night. His travels as young man saw him spend extended amounts of time in Europe and Hawaii before returning home to Massachusetts and starting a family. Douglas worked in construction equipment sales, law enforcement and ran his own masonry company, but he will be remembered far more for who he was than what he did for work. He was a caring father who always put his children first. His mustache was iconic. He was always the life of the party. He had a brilliance and a quick wit that were unrivaled. He was the ultimate storyteller. He loved playing his guitar, Clint Eastwood movies, reading, inventing characters to entertain his kids, and shooting guns. Though he battled serious physical issues for the past sixteen years, he was a man that still showed up for his granddaughter's plays and recitals despite the obstacles he faced doing the simplest of things. Services will be held at Shepherd Funeral Home, 216 Main St Kingston MA 02364 on Sunday December 3rd, 2023 from 4-7PM, with words of remembrace at 6:30.

Queenice A. Stewart Obituary On November 17, 2023, Queenice "Queenie" Anne Stewart was called home to the Lord. She was born March 15, 1932 in Everett, MA to the late Hagop and Takouhy (nee Musserian) Mangerian. Queenie met the love of her life, the late John E. Stewart, at a Protestant church. They were married for 38 years and raised their loving family of 5 children in Melrose MA. Queenie is survived by her children: Richard (Martha), Debra (Dick), Kenneth (Susan), William (Sheryl), and David; grandchildren: Alex (Melissa), Patrick (Kayla), Jack, Matthew, Katie, Caroline, Nicholas (Maria), Timothy, Dana (Bryce), Justin, Mike (Laura), and Kelly (Chris); great-grandchildren: Ava, Romeo, Emmett, Felix, Maya, Ethan, Jack, Emma, Alex, and Sami. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews. Queenie was the tenth of eleven children predeceased by George, Irene, Sarah, Mary, Arpeen, Hemanyag "Humo", Elizabeth "Honey", Dikran "Richard", Haik, and Berge. Queenie's parents Hagop and Takouhy were survivors of the Armenian Genocide. They arrived via circuitous routes to America after having escaped, then met and married in Boston. Queenie always said that it was great growing up in a large family, and that it was like being in "Grand Central Station" every day. Her father owned a small grocery store on Main St in Everett during the Great Depression. When she was old enough, she would visit his store and observe the people coming and going. She enjoyed listening to business conversations and other more personal conversations while reading a good comic book. She always said that observing people at the store was a great education. Queenie was involved in many of the programs at the First Congregational Church in Melrose. She was always active in many of her kids' activities, including Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Demolay. When the grandkids came along, Queenie just loved being a Nana and enjoyed spending time with and spoiling her grandchildren. She never forgot anyone's birthday and you could be sure to receive a card and a check with the word 'Wow!' as she would reference your age. Queenie had a positive outlook on life and in her later years would recall the many vacations we had as a family and the trips she took with her husband John. In her conversations with people she would always say 'I've been blessed, I've lived a good life'. Her family and friends will miss her shining spirit. Sevices for Queenice will be held at the Shepherd funeral Home on Monday, November 27th from 10 to 12 Followed by a burial at the Mayflower Cemetery in Duxbury.Show more
