"Best Mom Ever"
Mabel (Belle), Owens Wilson, 86, a long-time resident of Carver, died Monday, March 19, at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston. She was born in Middleboro to Madeleine and Bernard Owens and was raised in the “Swan House” on Main Street, Carver with her brothers Wayne and Philip.
