Marjorie A. Jones

Jones, Marjorie A. (Cotty) of Hamilton, formerly of Dorchester, died September 26, 2025.

Marjorie was the devoted wife of the late Robert A. Jones. She was a loving sister to Louise Downs and her husband John. She was a proud aunt to Allison Cavanaugh and husband Brendan, Kerrilyn Downs, and John J. Downs and wife Maria and great aunt of Dorothy Cavanaugh, Adalynn Downs and Quinn Downs.

Marjorie "Margie" Jones was born and raised in Dorchester Lower Mills. Until her twenties, she enjoyed summers with her family in Essex, MA. She was a graduate of Fontbonne Academy and Boston State College with an Early Childhood Education degree. She also received her Master's Degree in Media Science from Boston State College.

Margie taught in the Boston Public Schools with a love for Kindergarten and Special Education. When she married Robert "Bob" Jones, she moved to Hamilton, MA where she resided for over 35 years. Margie enjoyed life on the North Shore and continued teaching. She later found her niche working for the U.S. Postal Service and retired from there after 15 years. One of Margie's greatest pleasures were her dogs. Over the years, she gave homes to shelter dogs, often those who were least adoptable. Margie was a lifelong and passionate Red Sox fan as well as a Patriots fan.

Margie was a devout Catholic and deeply faithful. Her religion remained a constant in her life. Illness brought her full circle back to living in Lower Mills for the past 4 years of her life.
