Fay B. Farber

Fay Bedard Farber passed away peacefully in her home on July 24, 2026 surrounded by her loved ones and close friends who were ever present with her for the last months of her life.

Fay was born on January 16, 1943 in Worcester, MA and grew up in nearby Oxford, MA. After high school she went to the Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene in Boston from 1961 to 1963. In 1968, she married David Farber in Worcester and moved to Sudbury to raise their family. Fay worked as a dental hygienist before joining David in running their company, Bestrest Mattress in Worcester, MA.

Fay lived a full life. She was always up for a game of mahjong, Scrabble, or cards. You could find her on the sidelines of almost every soccer and lacrosse game played by her grandsons for the last 13 years, fair weather or foul. She served the community volunteering at the Parmenter Foundation, the Domestic Violence Roundtable, and Gifts of Hope in Sudbury. She took up golf in her 60s and rarely missed a fairway. She loved playing with her “golf friends” and her grandsons, and even got a hole-in-one once. She enjoyed traveling and cruises, and especially loved weeks on the cape or in Maine where she would rent a house every summer for her extended family to be together.

She is predeceased by her beloved and dearly missed husband David Farber, and is survived by her two daughters Alyssa Farber and Carolyn Farber Rose. She is also survived by her two sons-in-law, Grant Cole and John Rose, as well as her two cherished grandsons Charlie and Will Rose, and her brother Alan Bedard.

A reception following the service will be announced at the funeral home on Thursday.

Maria M. Figueiredo

With deep respect and loving remembrance, we announce the passing of Maria M. Figueiredo on July 21, 2026, in Hudson, Massachusetts. Born on October 12, 1948, in Santa Maria, Azores, Portugal, Maria’s life was marked by profound devotion to her family, steadfast work ethic, and a generous spirit that touched the hearts of many.

Maria’s journey took her from the beautiful shores of Santa Maria, Azores, Portugal to Cambridge, Ontario, in 1965. It was there that she reunited with her beloved Antonio Figueiredo, with whom she shared a remarkable partnership. After their marriage in 1971, the couple made their home in Hudson, Massachusetts, where they built a life filled with love, family, and community.

A dedicated and loyal worker, Maria served as a machine operator for New England Tape from 1972 until her retirement in 2016. Her colleagues and friends knew her as an unwaveringly hard worker, someone whose integrity and diligence provided a shining example to all. Yet, more than any professional accomplishment, it was Maria’s commitment to her family that shaped her legacy.

Maria’s family was her passion and pride. She lovingly raised her children and later, delighted in caring for her grandchildren. Her home was a gathering place, especially during holidays and special occasions, where her exceptional cooking brought everyone together in celebration and warmth. Her greatest sense of accomplishment came from nurturing and supporting her loved ones, a legacy cherished by all who knew her.

Described by those closest to her as caring, always willing to help others in need, and exceptionally generous, Maria’s presence brought comfort and strength. She maintained enduring ties with family in Cambridge, Ontario, looking forward each year to reuniting with them and renewing the bonds so dear to her heart.

Maria’s memory will be treasured by her devoted husband, Antonio Figueiredo; her sons, Kevin Figueiredo, Sr. and his partner Tatum Ferrara of Hudson, and John Figueiredo and his wife Yvania of Hudson; and her beloved grandchildren, Ruben Figueiredo, Kevin Figueiredo, Jr., and Brandon Figueiredo. She is also survived by her siblings, Rosa Moreira, Jose Moreira and his wife Celeste, John Moreira and his wife Alice, and Manuel Moreira and his wife Aldina, all from Cambridge, Ontario, and her sister-in-law, Maria Moreira. The family acknowledges with love the presence of many other relatives and friends who formed part of Maria’s rich and blessed life.

She was predeceased by her brother, Antonio Moreira, whose memory remained close to her heart.

Visitation will be held on July 28, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Tighe Hamilton Regional Funeral Home, 50 Central St., Hudson, MA.

Michael R. Kittredge

Michael R. Kittredge, born on November 7, 1954 in Marlborough, MA, passed away on July 16, 2026. Throughout his 71 years, Michael is remembered as a loyal and loving son, brother, uncle and friend.

Michael was raised in Hudson, son of the late Paul Kittredge and Lucille (Hill) Kittredge Roussel. He attended local schools and was a 1972 graduate of Hudson Catholic High School. He was a baker by trade and worked for many years with Hannaford's Supermarkets in their Bakery Department. He most recently was working with Shaw's Supermarket in Hudson.

Michael grew up with a deep appreciation for family bonds. His memory will be cherished by his beloved siblings: his sister Kathleen Frank and her husband Ray of St. Cloud, FL, and his brothers Kevin and his wife Ann of Hudson, MA, Danny and his wife Heidi of Hooksett, NH, and Robert of Cherry Hill, NJ. He also leaves behind his loving nieces, nephews and many other relatives. Michael’s life was also profoundly shaped by cherished memories of his long time partner Richard Giannasoli (2021), and his late sisters, Paula Kittredge (2016) and Maureen Kittredge (2013).

Michael led a simple life and appreciated all the values of family life. He enjoyed painting through most of his life as a hobby. He took courses at the New England School of Art in Boston to improve on his natural talent as an artist. Michael often spoke to his family and friends of the time he spent at the Sisters of Saint Crettiene Hall in Marlborough as a cook. He reminisced often how much he appreciated the Sisters at Saint Crettiene and the way they welcomed him into their lives. He fondly remembered the enjoyment of his days performing with the Royal Jades Marching Band in Hudson as a youth. He also found immense joy in the love and caring of his pet "Cats" throughout his life.

Michael's family will honor him with a graveside service at Forestvale Cemetery on Broad Street in Hudson. Date and time will soon be announced here.

Michael R. Kittredge will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him. His legacy endures through his family and the lives he touched, and he will be remembered with deep respect and affection.
