Jokinen Tyrie, Margaret A (Thompson) – December 1, 2025 Age 86

Of Norwell, formally of Hanover entered into life eternal early Monday morning, December 1st. Born in Brownington, VT, Margie moved to Canton at age 5 then to Hanover as a teen. It was there that she met and married Charlie Jokinen. They enjoyed 27 years of marriage before his passing in 1985. She then married James Tyrie and had 20 more years of happily married life before his passing in 2007.

Margie was a bookkeeper by trade. She worked at E.T. Wright Shoe in Rockland and South Shore News in Hanover. She would balance a checkbook to the penny. Later she worked as a bedmaker at a nursing home for some casino money. She enjoyed going to the casino and playing the slots with her sisters. She was an avid Red Sox fan. She would have advice for the team while watching whether they asked for it or not.You could expect to watch game shows when you came to visit Grammy (only when the Red Sox weren’t playing). Margie was a member of the St. Moritz Horseshoe Club in Quincy.Although short in stature, she could pitch a mean shoe. In 1993 she placed first in the Women’s Class C State Tournament. Always up for a game, she would enjoy a hand or two of cribbage. She always had a pegging hand no matter what card her opponent threw.

Margie enjoyed talking and spending time with friends and family. Carving pumpkins at Halloween, egg hunts at Easter, making ambrosia for the grandkids, sitting in a lawn chair in the backyard watching the goings on were some of her favorite things to do. She enjoyed watching the birds come to the feeders especially the hummingbirds. She was surrounded by love either in person or on the phone up to her last. She was a gift.

Predeceased by her husbands, Charles Jokinen Sr and James Tyrie, and her daughter, Carol (Bob) (Jokinen) Hyland. Family was Margie’s greatest treasure. She is loved dearly by her son Charles (Jeanne) Jokinen Jr of Brownington, VT and daughter Cheri (David) (Jokinen) Dauphinee of Norwell.
