Margaret Kepple

Margaret MacIntyre Kepple, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 23, 2026, at the age of 80, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 11, 1946, in the bustling city of Boston, Massachusetts, Margaret was the cherished daughter of Angus and Mary MacIntyre. Her life was a testament to love, resilience, and the enduring spirit of family. Margaret grew up in a vibrant household as one of ten siblings, where laughter and love filled every corner. Her childhood in Boston was marked by deep connections with her siblings, one of whom, Evelyn Easter, survives her. Margaret's strong family ties formed the foundation for the compassionate and nurturing woman she became. In 1975, Margaret married Robert Kepple, the love of her life, and together they built a beautiful life over 45 years of marriage until his passing in 2020. Their marriage was a partnership filled with unwavering support, shared dreams, and a love that continued to grow with each passing year. Margaret was the proud and devoted mother of three sons: Christian of Roslindale, David of Dedham, and Steven of Brockton. She welcomed Christian's partner, Darci, and David's wife, Megan, and Steven's wife, Amy, into her heart with open arms, embracing them as her own. Her sons and their families were the center of her world, and she took immense pride in their accomplishments and the men they became. Her legacy of love and kindness lives on through her adored grandchildren, Emily, Patrick, and Caroline. Margaret reveled in her role as a grandmother, cherishing every moment spent with them, from attending their school events to celebrating birthdays and holidays. Her gentle spirit and warm hugs will be dearly missed but fondly remembered by those who had the privilege to call her "Nana." Margaret's life was a tapestry of service, kindness, and unyielding faith. She was a dedicated member of her community, volunteering at local charities and participating in church activities. Her generosity knew no bounds, and she was always ready with a helping hand or a comforting word for those in need. Margaret leaves behind a legacy of love, compassion, and strength. She is survived by her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, her sister Evelyn, and a host of nieces and nephews who will continue to honor her memory. Her family takes comfort in knowing that Margaret has been reunited with her beloved Robert and other family members who have gone before her. A celebration of Margaret's life will be held on June 2, 2026, at St. Mary’s Church in Dedham, where family and friends will gather to honor and remember the remarkable woman she was. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Margaret's name to a charity close to her heart, continuing her legacy of generosity and love. Margaret Kepple's gentle soul touched the lives of many, and her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. As we say goodbye, we cherish the memories and lessons she left behind, holding onto the love she shared so freely.
