MAHONE – Amiya “Mimi”, age 8 of Dorchester. Passed away peacefully on Monday, July 15, 2024.

Amiya was an artist at heart, loving all music no matter the sound or beat she would dance in her own little way. When no music was heard she would play her own special beat using her toys and the closest wall available. Although she needed glasses to see she despised them and most likely had them dangling around her neck or possibly even used as a chew toy. She had a knack for chewing; you would find her hand in her month, her favorite toy or sometimes even your hand if you weren’t quick enough to move it away. Amiya was a bright light and a ray sunshine that loved smiling to express her love to her loved ones. She will be missed by all who knew her.
