Margaret was born in Lisbon Falls on Sept. 17, 1921 a daughter of Andrew P. and Susie Demchak Dobransky. The family moved to Pejepscot when she was 5 years old and she attended Pejepscot Grammar School and graduated from Brunswick High School in 1939.
On February 28, 1942 she married the love of her life, Edward R. Dionne and made their home in Pejepscot until 1991 when they moved to Lisbon Falls. They had been married 63 years when Eddie passed away in 2005 and the spark went out of her eyes.
Margaret was a homemaker who loved caring for her family and was “Grammy” to many young people. No matter where she went young people would hug her and spend a few moments with her. She always made them feel special because she loved them all.
