Margaret Dennis Obituary
1960 - 2020
Swampscott - It is with great sadness that we announce Margaret Helen Dennis, beloved daughter, sister, aunt & friend, died peacefully at home on November 26, 2020.
Margaret was a proud graduate of Our Lady of the Assumption School, Lynnfield, Peabody Veterans' Memorial High School and Salem State University. Margaret was employed as a special education paraprofessional at Hood School in Lynn, where she was adored by her students and fellow teachers. Margaret enjoyed the finer things in life; art, music, travel, food, shopping and family and always appreciated a good joke, where her laughter would light up a room and travel for miles. Margaret loved spending time outdoors, she especially loved the North Shore beaches from Lynn Shore Drive to Marblehead Neck and up to the Maine coastline. She also loved the mountains of North Conway, Cape Cod and traveling the world! She loved to shop and always chose the perfect gift and even made the thousands of trips to CVS for her mother and father seem special. She had countless friends that she went to many concerts, dinners, walks in Lynn Woods and trips with. She was an avid gardener and most recently became chef extraordinaire for her parents, which as everything else, she excelled. She adored her family time and especially loved her nieces and nephews. She's forever in our hearts, she is irreplaceable.
Margaret is survived by her loving parents William A. and Jean S. (Callahan) Dennis of Swampscott, siblings Catherine J. and Jack E. Glencross of Lynnfield, Mary L. Anderson and her late husband Phil of Lynnfield, William A. Dennis Jr. of North Conway, NH, Carolyn A. and Michael J. Gallagher of Topsfield, James P. Dennis and Brenda A. Supino of Swampscott, her beloved nieces and nephews; Erin and Brian, John, Kristin and Nick, Philip and Ashley, Mickey, Ally, Julie, Tara, Patrick, Anna and Amanda, surviving fiancé of Margaret's beloved pre-deceased nephew, Dean Michael Dennis.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, A Mass of the Resurrection was celebrated privately in St. Pius V Church in Lynn.

Your friendship and dedication to it, along with your ability to bring immediate joy into any room or heart you entered, speaks loudly as your legacy. Losing you is profound. My world changed when I got the news. Thank you for 38 years of laughs, help, fun and true friendship. I will love you always, dear Margy~

Margaret was an extremely vibrant and funny person. We worked together for many years and she never missed an opportunity to come and spend time with me on my breaks when my band was performing on the beaches of Lynn and Swampscott. She loved music, life and especially people. I'll miss her but I'll always remember her and her awesome laugh.
