Obituary for Margaret M. Tyler
Margaret M. (Cournoyer, Ashe) Tyler wife of James J. Tyler and the late Robert W. Ashe, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with cancer. The last few months of her life were filled with tender moments, smiles and unexpected laughter.

Margaret worked at Wang Laboratories, Thermo Detection and Lahey Clinic where she made several lifelong friends. She enjoyed needle crafts, crotchet, bingo, dancing, spending time with friends and family, and caring for her dogs, Lucy and Lou.
Margaret is survived by four daughters, Melissa Tremblay and her husband Steven of Tyngsboro, MA; Kelly (Ashe) Verrill and her husband Thomas of Tewksbury; Mary Ellen (MacBrayne) Burlamachi and her husband Richard of Lowell; and Kathleen (MacBrayne) Farren and her husband Norman of Windham, NH.
