Margaret CROSBY Obituary
Known as "Patti" to her friends and family and "Nana" to her grandchildren, Margaret was a devoted mother, grandmother and cherished member of the community. Throughout her life, she made a meaningful impact as a school teacher, real estate agent, and office manager.
After retiring, Margaret found great joy in traveling with her husband, Richard. Together, they explored the beauty of national parks, captured the majesty of wildlife through photography and cherished summers at Moosehead Lake in Maine, while spending winters on the island of Nevis in the West Indies.
Margaret passed away peacefully at home in Medfield, MA, on May 27, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She died in faith, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth and joy.
Margaret is survived by her two sons, a daughter, four grandsons, a sister, and many nieces and nephews. Her close-knit family, built on love and encouragement, will continue to carry her memory.
May she rest in peace.
Her Graveside Service will be held on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at 11AM, in People's Cemetery, Chatham, MA. For online condolences, please visit: www.nickersonfunerals.com
