Miriam (Mason) was born on December 28, 1930 in Boston, MA, daughter of the late James Jackson Minot and Miriam (Sears) Minot. She had a practical nature and a generous heart.

She was known amongst friends and family for her stunning flower arrangements and gardens. She loved reading, especially historical fiction. Upon moving to Harwinton, she and Peter raised goats for over 30 years. Peter and Mason liked to visit the Caribbean and Mason continued to enjoy traveling until her final days. Mason was a skilled dog trainer, winning hundreds of ribbons throughout the years. During the course of her life she owned and trained poodles, dalmatians and finally her beloved shelties.
