    My condolences to the Mahon family for their loss. I knew Mrs. Mahon when I was a student at TMHS in the 60’s. I was in the Library Club which Mrs. Mahon was the adviser. Mrs. Mahon was a beautiful and kind person who instilled the love of reading and books in me. I also went on to have a 38 yr career in education. Rest in Peace Mrs. Mahon. Sincerely, Barbara Russo

    Mrs. Mahon was a kind and positive person. I enjoyed taking a creative writing course that she gave some years back. I am also honored to have her book “Mystery at Old Sturbridge Village” She was an inspiration.

    Paul and Rosie,
    I was so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother.
    She always had that beautiful smile, she was kind to every student and teacher in our school.
    She was a very special person, but you both already know that..
    You are in my thoughts and prayers.
