Obituary: Ida R. Fagone McNamara

Ida R. Fagone McNamara, 89

Ida R. (Chiusano) Fagone McNamara, a lifelong resident of Hull, died peacefully on Nov. 1. She was 89.

Beloved wife to the late Domenic Fagone and thereafter wife to the late Robert McNamara, she was the cherished mother of Annette Agostino and her husband, Vincent, and Lisa Hatch and her husband, Robert. She is survived by eight amazing grandchildren: Matthew Woodworth and wife Kaitlin, Jaclyn Burke and husband Phil, Rachel Laflash and husband Zachary, Leigh Woodworth, Paige Woodworth, Brittany Hiltz and husband Robert, Brandon Sanders, and Megan Richardson. She also leaves six great-grandchildren. 

Ida, the ultimate businesswoman, owned and operated the Sea Shore Motel for 32 years and Charisma Realty for 50 years. Truly generous and selfless, she was honest, and friends and family always knew where they stood with her. She loved life’s simple pleasures: a good cocktail with her many friends at Ocean Place, a lucky slot machine at any casino, and, most importantly, spending time with her family. 

Family and friends are invited to visiting hours on Thursday, Nov. 4, from 4-7 p.m. in McNamara Sparrell Funeral Home, 1 Summer St., Cohasset. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, Nov. 5, at 11 a.m., in St. Ann Church, 208 Samoset Ave., Hull.
