Mary Anne Osborne passed away on March 16, 2026. She was a longtime member and supporter of Dedham Museum & Archive/Dedham Historical Society. She made the museum a priority among her interests, serving on the Board of Directors for a decade and continuing as an active member of the Events/Worthington Committee since its formation in 1996. Mary Anne was vivacious, intelligent, funny, and sincere. We will deeply miss her presence. Please read her obituary to catch a glimpse of the special person she was.
We are appreciative to her family, who has asked that, in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Museum.
To make a donation in Mary Anne’s memory, you may send a check to Dedham Museum & Archive, P.O. Box 215, Dedham, MA 02027, or use this link for PayPal, Venmo, Debit or Credit Card. Thank you.
