Alice Hilton Mahar

Pembroke & Baileyville – Alice (Hilton) Mahar, 93, passed away March 3, 2008 at her son’s home in East Machias. Alice was born June 3, 1914 in Pembroke, the daughter of Frank and Lora (Carter) Hilton. She graduated from Washington State Normal School (UMM) in 1935 and taught for many years, including for 17 years in Baileyville from 1957 until her retirement in 1974. She loved her second-graders and they loved her, as well. (The above school photo was taken in 1961). Alice was predeceased in 1993 by her beloved husband of over 50 years, John Russell Mahar, and a daughter, Lois, who died as an infant in 1943. She is survived by her son, James Mahar of New Orleans, LA; her son, Jon Mahar and his wife Mitsy, both of East Machias and Ishikawa, Japan; and two granddaughters, Amy and Yumi (Joanne) Mahar, also of East Machias and Japan. A brief memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m., Thursday, March 13, 2008 at Mays Funeral Home, 26 Church St., Calais. The family realizes that many of Mom’s remaining friends are up in years and that travel is difficult. Thus, as Mom herself would say, your thoughts, prayers, and notes are appreciated where you may be on the 13th. For the family, Jon Mahar, PO Box 476, E. Machias, ME 04630. jon@syracuse.net
