Mavis Loretta (Weston) Stevens died peacefully July 2, 2021, at the age of 91 shortly before her 92nd birthday.
Although a resident of Florence, Massachusetts for the majority of her years, she was born in Burlington Vermont, July 14, 1929, and kept a place in her heart for all things country.
She loved old-time country music, visits to her hometown in Vermont and rides in other lovely rural areas of New England.
She was well-known for her fabulous country-style cooking particularly her homemade bread, baked beans and beautifully presented corned beef and cabbage.
A lover of babies and innocent souls, she was a kind, compassionate caregiver to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and any other offspring entrusted to her care.
No stranger to hard work, she maintained a spotless home, tidy yard, provided delicious meals for her family (more often than not making extra to provide for others) all while maintaining a full-time job until her retirement.
She loved her family dearly and enjoyed the fun, laughter and card playing at family gatherings for which she always made everyone's favorite dishes.
She held a special place in our hearts and she will be greatly missed.
She was predeceased by her parents Mae and Joe Weston, seven brothers, Windsor, Evans, Richard, Cleland, Hiram, Sidney, Stanley and seven sisters, Hazel, Laurel, Patricia, Leatha, Mildred, Murlain and Audrey.
She was also predeceased by her beloved husband Heman Stevens Jr., her precious baby daughter Sandy Stevens, and her adored grandson Tony Didonna.
Left to cherish her memory are her daughter Linda Didonna and her husband Paul, daughter Nancy Stevens, and grandchildren Luke Cavagnac, Michael Didonna and his wife Ashley, and Natalie Didonna, also great grandchildren Peter Cavagnac, Madison Didonna-Renner, Morgan Didonna-Renner, Aspen Didonna and Dillon Didonna.
She also leaves behind a multitude of nieces, nephews, and three sisters-in-law from the Stevens family, Gerry, Nancy and Shirley, all of whom she knew and loved.
The family will hold a graveside ceremony at 11:00 AM, July 14, 2021 in Maplewood Cemetery, Huntington, Vermont.
We would like to thank the Forestview staff at Linda Manor and Pioneer Valley Hospice for their compassionate care of our dear Mom.
