A wake and funeral Mass for four members of a Massachusetts family who died in a car crash during a trip to Florida are scheduled for this weekend.
The wake for Josephine Fay, 76; her daughter Julie Smith, 41; and Smith's children Jaxon, 11, and Scarlett, 5, is scheduled for Friday at St. Francis Xavier Church in Weymouth.
A funeral Mass will be held at the same church Saturday morning, according to their obituaries.
Fay, Julie Smith and Scarlett Smith died at the scene of the Feb. 18 crash in Kissimmee, Florida, while on a vacation to Disney World. Jaxon Smith died at the hospital the following day.
Two other children -- Shalie Smith, 10, and Skylar Smith, 5 -- were not injured. Driver Shane Smith, 43, and passenger William Fay, 76, were taken to the hospital but later released. The Fays are from Weymouth and the Smith family lives in Whitman.
Fay was a professor of early childhood education at Quincy College for 18 years and taught at several elementary schools, according to her obituary.
