Ann Joyce Price, at 78

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ann Joyce (Park) Price, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Mrs. Price passed away peacefully at her home in Ashland, surrounded by her loving family, on July 27, 2024. She was 78.

Mrs. Price was born on March 15, 1946 in Boston. She was the loyal wife of Richard Lawrence Price and the beloved daughter of the late Louis Park and Mollie (Greenspan) Park. She was also the younger sister of Barry Park. She was the most perfect, nurturing, and supportive mother to her three children: Marc Scott Price, married to Hillary Koritz Price; Lori Beth Price, married to Yoni Kassar; and Stacey Jill Price, partner of Evan Duning. Mrs. Price was a doting “Grammie” to Jared Price, Mila Kassar, Judah Kassar, and Bijoux Price Duning.

Her family meant the world to her, and she expressed her love through cooking, baking, crafting, and gardening. Her home was always filled with the scent of delicious meals or freshly baked goods, and her gardens were always bursting with color and warmth. Her grandchildren were the absolute light of her life, and she cherished every moment spent with each of them. Mrs. Price had a deep love for all the holidays, ensuring every celebration was filled with picture-perfect decorations, warmth for all, and joy. Each holiday was always accompanied by her signature cards without fail.

Mrs. Price had a beautiful, yet simple, passion for life. She found immense pleasure in hunting for and collecting sea glass, a hobby that symbolized her ability to find beauty in the smallest of things. Mrs. Price had a special affinity for the beach, finding peace and happiness watching waves come and go as boats drifted by.

Mrs. Price was fiercely devoted to her friends and family, always there with a helping hand and an encouraging word. Her unwavering support and boundless love will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Services and burial were held on Monday, July 29 at the chapel at Sharon Memorial Park in Sharon. The celebration of life followed the service at Pinebrook Country Club and continued the following evening at the Cookingham Greene Clubhouse in Ashland.

In lieu of flowers, remembrances in Mrs. Price’s memory may be made to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Our Annie J & Grammie will forever be remembered for her kind heart, loving spirit, and the joy she brought into the lives of those around her. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. May her memory be a blessing. Zichrona l’vracha.
