(Boyle)Passed away on August 20, 2019, at
the age of 88, at the Pat Roche Hospice
House in Hingham, MA. Marjorie, who
was known to all as Marge, was born
on March 28, 1931, in Milton, Mass.
She was the youngest child of Lawrence
Boyle and Nora (Walsh) Boyle, who
both emigrated from Ireland. Marjorie
was raised in Milton with her siblings,
Lawrence, Mary, Charles, Edward, and
Hazel, all of whom predeceased her.
The family later moved to Dorchester.
At age 19 Marjorie married John J.
Tierney, Jr., and settled in Dorches-
ter and Milton to raise their seven
children. She was a loving and devoted
mother whose life changed when her
12-year-old son Kevin was hit by a car
while walking home from basketball
practice. Marjorie became consumed
with Kevin’s care. At the same time
she remained as involved as ever in
the lives of her other children, who
recall her sunny and optimistic nature,
even when faced with extraordinary
challenges. Her marriage to John,
who died in 2005, ended in divorce.
During the blizzard of ‘78’, she met
Donald Moors on a blind date. The next
day, he called to tell her they would
spend the rest of their lives together,
and they did, settling in Duxbury for
many happy years until Don’s death
in 2001. Marjorie will be remembered
by everyone from family members to
acquaintances for her generosity and
kindheartedness. Though motherhood
was her main occupation, Marjorie
made time to take extension courses
at Harvard University, with Milton
friends in 1963 to establish one of the
first, if not the first, Montessori School
in Massachusetts (Blue Hills Montes-
sori School), and often volunteered to
drive people who were housebound to
doctor’s appointments. She and Don
helped establish and run the Duxbury
Thrift Shop, which benefited people
in need, for many years. A wonderful
dancer, an avid reader, and an exquisite
letter writer, Marjorie was also known
for her lighthearted sense of fun and
her natural gift to connect with all
types of people, from the upper crust to
the man delivering milk to her family.
Marjorie made friends easily and was
notorious for enlarging the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner table with a wide assortment
of neighbors and people she felt needed
a holiday welcome. There was always
another plate at the table or place to
sleep in Marjorie’s house for anyone in
need. Her children say Marjorie was
always remarkably positive. Until her
final days she said how fortunate and
blessed she’d been. While she main-
tained her strong faith in the Catholic
Church in which she was raised, her
ecumenical outlook on life was notable.
With her signature humor, Marjorie al-
ways said she was raised by her mother
to appreciate the positive messages
in her religion while also remaining
skeptical about institutional dogmas
and mindless rules. Marjorie leaves
her six children, John Tierney (Jane),
James Tierney, Judith Coneeny (John),
David Tierney (Joy), Jacqueline Nolan
(Jeffrey), Elaine Johnson (Glenn), and
four stepchildren, Bill Moors (Terry),
Dianne Martin (Dave), Kathy, and Ken
(Beverly). She was predeceased by her
son, Kevin Tierney. She also leaves 14
grandchildren, five great-grandchil-
dren, and five step-grandchildren. Her
step-grandson, Evan predeceased her.
Marjorie will be missed greatly by her
loving family, but their sadness is more
than ameliorated by the wonderful
example she set to love and care deeply
for your family, to always keep an open
heart and mind, to use the resources
you have to help others, to appreciate
both big and small blessings life brings,
and most of all, to always have faith in
the goodness that lives in everyone. In
lieu of flowers, Marjorie’s wish would
be that you consider a contribution
in her memory to the charity of your
choice. A Celebration of Marjorie’s
Life Memorial Service will be held on
Sunday, September 29, 2019, from 2pm
to 4pm at The Duxbury Bay Maritime
School, Clifford Hall, 457 Washington
Street, Duxbury, MA.VENTRESCA, Anna

617 -5 3 6-4110REESE, Orlyn June
Of Dover, passed away suddenly on
August 29, 2019.
Beloved wife of Paul Reese, devoted
sister to Andy Faraca of Marietta, GA
and Fred Faraca of Kenosha, WI. Lov-
ing and cherished mother to Ben Reese
of Brookline, and Julia Reese of Boston.
Orlyn got her name from her Uncle
Orla and Aunt Lynn.
Born in Kenosha, WI, Orlyn was a
graduate of the University of Wiscon-
sin, Madison. She met Paul via a mu-
tual friend and just a few months later
were married and began a remarkable
52-year marriage.
Orlyn worked for a short time as a
social worker in Chicago before becom-
ing a house wife and a hockey mom.
Both Ben and Julie were very active in
sports which required a lot of travel
both domestic and abroad.
Years later, in 1990, the Reese family
moved to Dover, MA. Paul and Orlyn
became members at Charles River
Country Club, Newton, in 1996. Orlyn
was an avid golfer and loved to prac-
tice. She quickly developed loving rela-
tionships with all of the members. She
was active as a member of the House
Committee and a volunteer for many of
the tournaments at the River. Her son,
Ben, also a member since 2005, had his
golf group and Orlyn had hers, but they
always found time to play or practice
together.
Orlyn was well traveled. She and
Paul have a travel group of close friends
and enjoyed their annual trip to far off
places.
One of Orlyn’s great traits was that
she truly loved and cared for everyone
and was always available for help and
support. She was loved by all who knew
her and will be greatly missed.
A Celebration of Orlyn’s life will be
held at the Pavilion, at Charles River
Country Club, 483 Dedham St., New-
ton, on Thursday, Sept. 5, at
11:00am. Relatives and friends are
invited to attend.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made in Orlyn’s memory to the Animal
Rescue League of Boston, 10 Chandler
Street, Boston, MA 02116, http://www.arlres-
