MARGARET CHARLES Obituary

CHARLES, Margaret R. Age 93, widow of the late Francis Charles, of Cohasset, MA, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, June 5, at Avita of Newburyport. Margaret was born in Dorchester on September 28, 1930, the daughter of Charles and Eileen (Kennally) Reynolds. She was raised in Canton and Hull, prior to moving to Cohasset in 1958. Margy attended Jeanne D'Arc Academy and then received her BS at the College of New Rochelle and later, received her Masters in Special Education from Simmons College. She worked as a teacher in the Boston Public Schools and later in life, became a real estate broker. Margy was an enthusiastic social activist and served on many Cohasset town committees. She was a eucharistic minister and daily communicant at St. Anthony's Catholic Church. Margy enjoyed racing 110 and 210 sailboats with her husband, Fran, and was a lifelong member of the Hull Yacht Club. Margy will be fondly remembered as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her daughter, Ann Craig and her husband, Thomas of West Newbury; and her son, Francis Charles, Jr. and his wife, Susan of Byfield. Margaret also leaves behind her grandchildren, Brewster and wife, Sara Charles, Bridget and husband, Jason Maley, Grace Charles and husband, Curt Nehrkorn, Tucker Charles, Stewart Craig, Margaret and husband, Troy Zangle, William Craig and Benjamin Craig; as well as her great-grandchildren, Mirabelle and Violet Maley. She was predeceased by her brothers, William Reynolds, Charles Reynolds, III; and her sister, Mary Reynolds. Visiting Hours: A Funeral Mass will be held at 11am, on June 17, 2024, at St. Anthony of Padua's Church, in Cohasset. All are welcome to join Margy's family after Mass in the adjacent parish hall to Celebrate her Life and share fond memories. Burial will follow the reception in the Cohasset Central Cemetery. As many of her family and friends know, Margy was an enthusiastic advocate for folks who are discriminated against because of their ethnicity, gender, orientation or socio-economic situation. In lieu of flowers and in remembrance of her loving and generous spirit, please consider a gift in her name to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Kevin B. Comeau Funeral Home, 486 Main Street, Haverhill. 978-521-4845.
