Margaret (“Margie”) Mary Malone entered into eternal rest on Christmas Day.
Born in Hartford on September 16, 1946, Margie was raised in Rocky Hill and Wethersfield. She graduated from Hartford State Technical College, earning her degree in Electrical Engineering and Technology.
Margie worked as an Electrical Systems Engineer and Substation Designer for Northeast Utilities for thirty years, followed by United Illuminating for an additional ten years. She designed electrical substations in many Connecticut locations including, Millstone Nuclear Power Plant.
In her youth, Margie was a record-setting basketball and softball player. She went on to coach girl’s youth and women’s softball teams in her adult life. A switch-hitter, Margie coached and pitched for a championship team in the Southern New England Friendship League.
Margie was a lover of horses, dogs, and cats, especially her beloved Irish Setter, Migsie, and red tabby, Kauai. Always the adventurer, she obtained her student pilot’s, motorcycle, and boating licenses.
Living on the Connecticut Shoreline for nearly all of her life, Margie embraced all that was sun, sand, and surf. Never without deeply bronzed skin, she combed beaches for unique shells and sea glass, and owned and operated cabin cruisers; this, bringing her immense joy. She also loved riding her Harley, and possessed a passion for photography, never more evident than when travelling across the United States and to several European countries.
Margie will forever be remembered for her calm and gentle spirit, beautiful smile, and easygoing manner. Moreover, she was a natural conversationalist who was adept at putting others at ease.
Predeceased by her parents, George Malone and Marie Lanzarone; brother, Harry, and cherished stepfather, Barney Lanzarone, Margie is survived by her sisters, Marie Paresi and Mary Malone, and nieces, Christine and Mary.
Much gratitude and appreciation are extended to the staff at Artis Senior Living of Branford and to those from Compassus Hospice. Special thanks are given to Compassus direct care provider, Latisha Robinson, for her unwavering patience, compassion and genuine concern.
Viewing will be held on Tuesday morning, Jan. 2nd from 9:30 to 11:30 at The Havens Family North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue. A Mass of Christian burial will be celebrated at 12:00 p.m. at St. Barnabas Church/St. Elizabeth of the Trinity Parish, 44 Washington Avenue, North Haven. Interment will be private and at the convenience of close friends.

I played with and against marge for many years in the southern new england softball league, including her national championship run in 1987 in san francisco. A great competitor and a really fun person to spend time with, she will be missed…
Was surprised by the loss of Marge. Marge was always great to talk with and gave a feeling of sincere. Fly with the sisters,they will be there for you. Lynne DeLeo
Rest In peace Margie.🤎🤎🤎🙏
Margie was as soft in real life as she was feared on the competitive fields of sports. She was so loved by my father, and when she was with us at home, dad was happy to see that winning smile, which paired nicely with her beautiful speaking voice. She was always so peaceful, never boisterous or hard on the nerves, she was as loving and nurturing from the moment she awoke to when she gently said “Goodnight, love.”
Marge was a wonderful woman. Her smile lit up a room.im so very sorry to learn of her passing. But she’s at peace. My family lived her. When I told my niece she said ‘she always smelt so nice’…She really did….RIP
Marge was always a great friend. Whether we were on the softball field or hanging out at the bar somewhere we always had a good time! Always someone I looked up to. Was so honored to know you Marge Malone. Rest in peace my friend

We had a lot of good times together , and will have many more … I love you Margie 🩷
