May 5, 1945 - September 26, 2025
Margaret J. Dixon, 80, of Sherborn, passed away peacefully with family by her side on Friday, September 26, 2025. Born in Tunapuna, Trinidad, she was the daughter of the late Marjorie (Rawlins) and Alexander Marino. She was the beloved wife of 41 years to the late Richard G. Dixon.
A longtime resident of Sherborn, Margaret grew up in Framingham and was a graduate of Framingham South High School. She worked for many years as an office manager at Daigneault Dental and also spent time driving a school bus for Dover-Sherborn—a job she loved dearly because of the kids.
Margaret was an avid tennis player and enjoyed reading, but some of her greatest joys came from time spent outdoors. She loved working in the fields alongside her late husband Richard, proudly keeping up with the haying and always making sure the stacking was done properly. She also tended to her flower and vegetable gardens with pride, known especially for producing the biggest pumpkins around.
She is survived by her daughter, Lisa George, and her husband Matthew of Littleton; her siblings, Thomas Marino and his wife AnneMarie, and Mary Gray of Holliston; and her cherished grandchildren, Matthew Jr., Hailey, and Lexie. She was predeceased by her brother, William Marino, and brother-in-law, Peter Gray. Margaret also leaves behind her longtime companion, Everett Longstreth of Stoneham.
Visitation will be held on Friday, October 3, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at Chesmore Funeral Home of Holliston, 854 Washington St. A funeral service will follow at 12:30 p.m. in the funeral home. Burial will take place afterward at Lake Grove Cemetery.
