Alice D. Salos, born on Dec. 10, 1925 in Framingham, passed away on Jan. 5 at the age of 100. Alice, who recently celebrated her centennial birthday surrounded by family and friends, was a resident of Chatham, and formerly of Wayland.
Alice was the beloved daughter of John F. Lewis and Alice “Crotty” Lewis of Framingham. She pursued her passion for nursing, earning her RN degree from Framingham Union Nursing School in 1948. That same year, she married Emanuel “Manny” Salos from Natick, with whom she shared 70 years of devoted marriage.
Alice is survived by her loving daughter, Kathryn Salos of Roswell, Ga.; her grandson, Dr. Nicholas Beale and his wife, Sarah Hamby, of Norman, Okla.; and her granddaughter, Tiffany Buker and her husband, Wayne Buker, of Woodstock, Ga. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Logan Buker and Maeve Beale-Hamby. Alice was preceded in death by her husband, Emanuel Salos, her sister, Marion Crowley, and her brothers, John Lewis, William Lewis, and Robert Lewis.
A private family Mass will be held later at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Chatham. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Parmenter Foundation, 260 Boston Post Road, Suite 5, Wayland MA 01778, Attn: Hospice Bed Subsidy.
