Teresa Mason

On March 5, 2017 Tess was reunited with her sweetheart ElRoy and her son James as she passed on peacefully in her sleep.  Tess was born in Paragonah Utah on May 25, 1940 to her father Ivan Samuel Robb and her mother Zelma Barton Robb. After graduating from high school and attending beauty school, Tess began a career in the beauty industry. In 1962 Tess married G ElRoy Mason and they were later sealed in the St. George LDS temple. Tess was a successful beautician and business owner of three salons (Modern Beauty Salon) located in Cedar City and Parowan.  She built many lifelong friendships as she dolled up the ladies of Cedar City and Parowan.  Later in life she attended real estate school and made a career change.  Quickly she became a very successful Real Estate Agent/Owner of ERA Realty Center. Tess was known by all in the community as the “The Real Estate Lady”.  She was active in the community throughout her career and served on the Board of Realtors, the Chamber of Commerce, and many other committees. She wore many hats as a sister, sister-in-law, aunt, grandma, great grandma, cousin, friend, and mother. Everyone who knew her well knew the important part they played in her life and how proud and supportive she was of each one of them. One of her most enduring gifts was her willingness to help others. She was a huge support for all of her friends and family in the ups and downs that came with life. No greater love did she have than the love she had for her family.
