WESTON: Susan Ward (Magie) Vick died August 14, 2012 surrounded by her family members.
Born in Cortland, NY, she was the daughter of the late Edward W. Vick and Loretta Yerger Vick.
Susan spent her life committed to her children and grandchildren, political causes that improved the lives of others, and a belief in being part of the solution. Over the years, she was a member of the First Parish Unitarian Church in Weston and a member of the First Parish Church in Waltham. She was actively involved in the Weston Democratic Town Committee, the Waltham Alliance to Create Housing, the Weston-Belin Nicaragua Sister City Project, Green Power Farm and numerous political campaigns. A graduate of Northfield School for Girls in 1953 and Wellesley College in 1957, she was a voracious reader and keen conversationalist. She worked for many years at both Lawyers Weekly and Cambridge Alternative Power Co. as a business manager.
She leaves behind three children and their spouses: Robert M. Magie and Patty of London, UK, Sarah M. Foster and Michael of Hopkinton, MA and Meredith C. Magie and Kevin J. Beaucage of Attleboro, MA. Susan’s second son, James M. Magie, predeceased her. Susan spent much time with her five grandchildren: William M. Magie, Jennifer C. Magie, Margaret M. Foster, Griffin E. Foster and Nicholas P. Beaucage. Susan’s compassion and sense of humor will be greatly missed by all.
A memorial service is planned for early October and friends and relatives will be notified. In lieu of flowers, Susan requested that donations be made to the Waltham Alliance to Create Housing, 517 Mood Street, Waltham, MA 02453.
