Obituary: Ann Carter Jameson of Wellesley, 69

Ann Carter Jameson (AKA Ann Carter) of Wellesley, 69, passed away peacefully at home on March 23, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. Ann was the beloved wife of Philip, devoted mother of Alexandra and Elizabeth (husband Brian Civale), best friends to her twin brother Edward, sister Emilee (husband Stephen) Crowell, and sister Susan (husband Scott) Mega, and idolized aunt to ten nieces and nephews, six grandnephews, and two grandnieces. She was predeceased by her parents, Dora (Dischino) and Paul Carter, who were the major influences in her life.

Ann’s most cherished possession in life was the love of her family and friends. The love she shared and received back was overflowing. She also enjoyed her jewelry, handbags, and shoes as accessories to her stylish clothes, which she wore with a creative flair that seldom went unnoticed (“it was on sale!”). That creativity spilled over to her painting on canvas as well as through decorating shells as gifts, making floral arrangements, and sharing new recipes.

Professionally, she was known as Ann Carter, consultant for years with Rasky Baerlein Strategic Communications, and more recently she built her own business as AC Communication Partners. Her clients benefitted from her wisdom, insight, judgment, creative problem-solving, and understanding of people and how they work together. She had a real talent for helping organizations distill their values and share their message clearly to the outside world.

Her dedicated nonprofit and Board trustee work highlighted her selfless, caring nature – always thinking of others. Her life made a real difference. As a successful woman in business and working mother, her success achieved with humility and grace, she set a shining example and was celebrated as a mentor by many colleagues and others with whom she crossed paths. The outpouring of love and admiration for Ann both personally and professionally during this difficult time has been overwhelming, and her family is beyond grateful.

Visiting hours will be held on Sunday, March 29th, from 2-6pm at George F. Doherty & Sons Funeral Home, 477 Washington Street (Route 16), Wellesley, MA. Her funeral Mass will be held on Monday, March 30th, at 11am at St. Paul Catholic Church, 502 Washington Street, Wellesley. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Ann’s memory to William James College or Conservatory Lab Charter School. And always feel free to put on that piece that’s been sitting in your closet, that you haven’t found the right time to wear!
