Obituary: Alice M. Ferreira

Alice M. Ferreira, 92 
Alice M. (Hurder) Ferreira, a longtime resident of Hull, died on Aug. 17 at the Prescott House Nursing Home in North Andover. She was 92.
Alice was born in Somerville on April 2, 1928, grew up in that city, and worked as a bookkeeper until she married William Ferreira Sr. and became the mother of three children and eventually gave birth to her daughter, Cheryl. She and her husband then bought and ran the Grey Finch in Hull, which they eventually sold before becoming full-time residents of Hull.
Alice enjoyed gardening and was a member of the Hull Garden Club. She was also fond of exercising and volunteering at the senior center, but, above all else, she loved being with her family.
Alice was predeceased by her husband William Sr.; her brother, Sonny Hurder; her sisters, Adelaide (Dolly) Sullivan, Helen Spooner, and Ruth Hally; as well as her son, Richard Ferreira, her daughter, Dorothy McInerney Ferreira, and her daughter, Cheryl Ferreira Panagopoulos.
Alice is survived by her son, William Ferreira Jr., and his wife, Kathy, of Georgetown; her grandchildren, Michael McInerney, of Hanson, Marlene Dutcher, of Titusville, Fla., Jonathan Ferreira and his wife, Tiffany, of Warwick, R.I., Demitri Panagopoulos, of Hull; four great-grandchildren, George, James, and Alice Dutcher and Sophia Ferreira; and several nieces and nephews.
A visitation was held on Friday at St. Mary’s Church in Georgetown and was followed by a funeral Mass. A private burial at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge followed immediately after Mass. A memorial Mass in Hull will be scheduled at a later date. 
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Alice to the Prescott House Resident Council Fund, 140 Prescott St., North Andover, MA 01845, or to St. Mary of the Assumption Parish-St. Ann Church, P. O. Box 565, Hull, MA 02045.
