Elizabeth Ahearn

Elizabeth “Liz” Louise Ahearn, 76, a resident of Hopkinton and formerly of Framingham and Natick, died March 11, 2025, surrounded by her family, after a short, hard-fought illness. Born in Natick, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Elizabeth (McCarthy) Ahearn.

Liz grew up in Natick, where she attended St. Patrick’s Catholic School. She worked for many years as a sales associate at Sears, and later retired from TJX.

Nothing made Liz happier than being a mother and grandmother. Generous to a fault, she would go without to make sure those she loved didn’t. She found joy in time spent with family, shopping, a good meal and celebrating holidays. Her cat, Smudge, came a close second to family.

Liz is survived by her sons, James and wife Denise of Blackstone, and Joseph and wife Kim of Milford, her grandchildren, James, Nicholas, Chistopher, Ember and Joey, and many nieces and nephews. Besides her parents, Liz was predeceased by her sibllings, Charlie “Buddy,” Dorothy, Mary, Barbara and Janet.

Her funeral Mass was celebrated in St. Patrick’s Church in Natick on March 22, followed by interment in St. Patrick Cemetery, Natick. Services were under the care of the Norton, McKinney & Lawler Funeral Home, Framingham.
