Margaret "Margie" E. Towne

Margaret "Margie" E. Towne, passed away on May 8, 2025, at the age of 82. Margie was a lifelong resident of Weymouth and Hingham before moving to Barnstable to be closer to her Family.

Margie dedicated a portion of her career as a receptionist at Salon 6A

in Barnstable village, where her vibrant personality left a lasting impression on both colleagues and clients. Her ability to connect with others and provide warmth and care was evident in every interaction. Margie was known for being a go-getter; her passions extended into her home where she demonstrated remarkable talent for decorating, renovations, and maintaining stunning gardens and flower arrangements.

Above all, Margie took great pride in her family, especially her grandchildren, whom she adored. She cherished the time spent with them, creating memories that will be forever held in their hearts. Margie grew up in a large family of eight siblings, all of whom have gone on to become remarkable individuals. She took immense pride in their accomplishments, celebrating the success of her family throughout her life.

A true testament to her character, Margie was tough and strong, never allowing life's challenges to hold her back. Even after suffering a stroke, she continued living independently, maintaining her perfect and welcoming home. Her determination and strength inspired many who knew her.

Margie's interests were as vibrant as her personality; she was an avid gardener and a loyal fan of the Boston Red Sox, embodying the spirit of a devoted supporter throughout her life. Her love for the team mirrored her tenacity – she lived and died a Red Sox fan, sharing this passion with those around her.
