Obituary: Alice M. Chase

Alice M. Chase, at 92

Alice Marie Chase, of Hull, a cherished soul known for her kindness and friendly demeanor, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2025, at the age of 92. Born on December 27, 1932, in the city of Brockton, Alice’s life was a tapestry woven with dedication to education, a passion for the simple pleasures of life, and an unwavering devotion to her family, her students and their families, along with others.

The daughter of the late Dennis and Alice R. Griffin of Randolph, Alice was the beloved wife of the late Joseph Edger Chase. Her legacy continues through her children, Terence Joseph Chase of Hull and Joseph Edward Chase along with his wife, Sue, of Hingham. Alice’s love and dedication to education lives on in her grandchildren, Joseph Paul, Caroline Rose, and Meghan Elizabeth, who will forever cherish the memories of their loving grandmother. Their educational accomplishments made her exceptionally proud.

Alice’s journey through life was marked by her commitment to education. A proud graduate of St. Patrick’s High School in Brockton, she furthered her education at Bridgewater Teacher’s College, earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education. Alice’s passion for teaching led her to a fulfilling career as an elementary and middle school teacher, where she spent 35 years shaping young minds, most notably at Damon Elementary School in Hull.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Alice was a woman of many interests. She found joy in going to the beach, where the sun and waves provided a backdrop for reflection and relaxation. Her friends were an extension of her family, and she cherished the moments spent in their company. Above all, Alice’s heart belonged to her family, with whom she loved spending time the most. Her presence at family gatherings was a source of comfort and happiness, and her absence will be profoundly felt.

Alice is also survived by her brother, Dennis Joseph Griffin and his wife Ellen of Norwell. She was predeceased by her brothers, John Lyons Griffin and his wife Sheila, and the late Daniel William Griffin. Alice’s life was a testament to the enduring power of love and the impact one person can have on the lives of many. Her gentle spirit, kind heart, and thoughtful nature will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

As we bid farewell to Alice Marie Chase, we celebrate the life of a woman who was the embodiment of love and thoughtfulness. Her memory will be treasured, her lessons will be passed down, and her spirit will continue to inspire those who were touched by her grace.
