Mary Usher's Funeral


My mom was buried today, October 9, 2006, at Evergreen Cemetery in the Woodville section of Hopkinton in the family plot where my Dad, Joe, was buried in 1980. Friends and family were so very supportive of Carol and me during the past days. I appreciate everyone's love and concern.

The wake was held at Buma-Sargeant Funeral home in Milford where Dick Buma and his son orchestrated all aspects of the funeral with excellence.

Bearers were:

Richard Cowern (nephew)
Ted Cowern (nephew)
John Stockwell (nephew)
Winston Chase (friend)
Scott Barnet (friend, Laura Usher's brother)

Mass in St. Mary's Catholic church in Milford was celebrated by Fr. Mike Foley. Music was arranged and provided by:

Karl and Laura Usher (singing)
Estlin and Gawain (violin)

Communion gifts were presented by:

Grace and Katie Usher assisted by Caroline Usher

Scripture readings by:

Irene Cowern (Isaiah 25: 6-9)
Karl Usher (I Pet 1: 3-9)

A remembrance was delivered by Dick Cowern (nephew) . You can view it here.

Burial was followed by a great meal at one of Mary's favorite restaurants, Carbone's, in the Cordaville section of Hopkinton, which had special meaning for the Usher, Harrall and Cowern families.

Irene Cowern shared some photographs. They are here on Shutterfly.
