Rosamond J. (Cameron) Pierce, 92
Rosamond J. (Cameron) Pierce, 92, of Mattapoisett, MA died March 19, 2026 at Tobey Hospital following a brief illness. She was the wife of the late Victor M. Pierce, to whom she was married for 64 years. Born and raised in Arlington, MA, the daughter of the late Forrest A. and Edith M. (Davis) Cameron, she spent her summers at her beloved Pease's Point in Mattapoisett, where she met her future husband, Victor.
Roz was a graduate of Arlington High School (Class of 1950) and attended the University of New Hampshire (Class of 1955) where she pursued a degree in education and was a member of the field hockey team. She spent much of her adult life raising her family alongside her husband in Felton, DE. As a stay-at-home mother, she devoted herself to the wellbeing of her three children and menagerie of pets. She was the best chauffer and loudest cheerleader for each of her children as they pursued their interests in academics, sports, and music.
She later returned to education as a para-professional at Lake Forest High School, where she worked in the classroom for many years. She was an active member of the UCC-affiliated People's Church in Dover, DE and of the Dover Century Club as well as several book clubs - she was an avid reader. She also loved to travel and visited many locations throughout North America, Europe, and Asia with Victor. While Roz loved to explore the world, she was never happier than when spending her summers at Pease's Point. Surrounded by family and neighbours who became family, she was a founding member of the Eight O'Clock Swim Club and an enthusiastic member of the Five O'Clock Beach Club; there was nothing better than closing out the day with good friends, good conversation, and toes in the sand.
Roz leaves behind her children Andrea Pierce of Camden, DE, Pamela Pierce and her husband Thomas Jackivicz of Mattapoisett, MA, and Scott Pierce and his wife Nicole of Rehoboth Beach, DE. She was the much-loved grandmother of Kara, Aidan, Charlie, Cameron, and Katie Jackivicz of Mattapoisett, and Sloan and Emmett Pierce of Rehoboth Beach. She was predeceased by her sisters Harriet West of Milford, NH and Miriam Janet Pease of Port Charlotte, FL.
A celebration of Roz's life is planned for July 2026 in Mattapoisett, MA. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the Mattapoisett Land Trust or to your local animal rescue.
Arrangements are with the Saunders-Dwyer Mattapoisett Home for Funerals, 50 County Rd. (Rt. 6), Mattapoisett. For online guestbook, visit www.saundersdwyer.com.
