Margery Donlan, 93, of Westborough, MA, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 12, 2025.  She was a daughter of the late Lawrence and Marion (Angell) Greene and grew up on their family farm in Cranston, RI.

A loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Margery is survived by her daughters Susan Kenny and her husband John Kenny of Newport, RI, Jill Hillier and her partner Richard Merusi of Eastham, MA, granddaughters Leigh Revens of Warwick, RI, Marcie Revens and her husband Dennis Delgado of New York, NY, and Emily Gustafson and her husband Derek Gustafson and their son, Tage, of Warwick RI. She is also survived by her sister, Linda Shaw of Greenville, RI, and Linda’s children Dawn Shaw and her partner Kenny Horton, Jamie Shaw and Dana Shaw.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert L. Donlan, with whom she shared many joyful times on Cape Cod and traveling. She was also predeceased by a son in law, Christopher Hillier.

Margery was a strong-willed, independent, and hardworking woman who faced many of life’s challenges with grace and resilience. She was deeply devoted to her family. She strived to give her daughters many opportunities to experience music, the arts and travel, and inspired them to excel in their education. She cherished her granddaughters, eagerly following their developing careers, and the birth of her great grandson gave her great pride and joy.

Margery’s indomitable spirit, determination and unwavering love and support for her family will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
