KIROHN, Margaret E. (O’Brien) of Dedham, August 4, 2024. Beloved wife of the late Richard C. Kirohn. Devoted mother of Kimberly Kirohn of Dedham and Alison Kirohn of Dedham. Grandmother of Madison Heaslip and her husband Declan of N. Attleboro. Great-grandmother of Ophelia Rose Heaslip. Sister of Robert O’Brien and his wife Susan of Canton.
Margaret “Peg” grew up in North Weymouth and Readville before attending Girls Latin and Northeastern. She married and spent 55 cherished years in Dedham, always prioritizing her family, including her beloved cats. Known for her culinary skills, Margaret also had a deep passion for books, plants, animals, and nature. Her work with the March of Dimes reflected her caring spirit. Over the past few years, as dementia gradually took her from us, we have been saying a long goodbye. We are profoundly grateful to Good Shepherd Hospice for honoring her final wishes with such compassion. Margaret will be dearly missed.
