Margaret Mary Dobbins
Margaret Mary Dobbins (Nee Demaske) passed away June 29, 2024, at Ohman Family Living at Blossom in Huntsburg Township.
She was born Sept. 15, 1928, to Joseph and Mary K. (nee Richnavsky) Damaske.
Margaret cared for her beloved husband, Carl, at home for 20 years after he fell ill, a burden for most but she always referred to it as “a labor of love” and would go through it again and again if she could. In recent years she would tell others that she couldn’t wait to be with him again. Carl preceded her in 2008.
Margaret loved gardening, flowers and feeding the birds. She and the neighbors loved to share their flowers with each other. Her yard was filled with many varieties of flowers. People would drive by and stop at the bottom of her yard to view her beautiful flowers. If she saw the onlookers, she would invite them up for a cup of coffee and offer to dig up portions of her flowers to share.
She was known for her big kind heart that she extended to everyone she met. When visiting, she would always offer coffee and something to eat when you visited, even if you were a service contractor and she had never met you before.
Margaret was the dedicated and loving mother of five children, William (deceased, 2007), Lawrence (Marsha, deceased, 2008), of Cortland, Kenneth (Tracey), of Rome, Ohio, Robert (Holly), of Marilla, N.Y., and Peggy (David), of Bowling Green, Ohio; grandmother of Heather, Lee, Mark, Jake, Josh, Chad, Jerod (deceased, 1991), Justin and Anna; and great-grandmother of Martino, Aliviana, Austin, Jasper, Aiden, Tanner, Mason and Asher.
In her last years, she grew an extended family of caring and loving people at Ohman Family Living (Blossom Care Center). Many thanks for the excellent care she received while there.
Private services have been held.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Chardon. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.burrservice.com.
