Margaret "Margie" A. Farone, of Saratoga Springs, peacefully went home to the Lord on November 9th at the age of 86. A lifelong Saratogian, she was born on January 15, 1939, to the late Gennaro and Margaret (Scuderi) Sansiveri and grew up on Elm Street. She graduated from Saratoga Springs High School in 1956 and, in 1959, she married Louis J. "Bunny" Farone Jr. with whom she shared a devoted marriage until his passing in 2020. Together, they built a strong foundation for raising their three children, instilling in them a deep work ethic, a lasting sense of virtue, character, and family, and even managed to make them all great cooks. Most of all, they provided the groundwork for the spirituality that guides their family today.

Margie was a beloved member of the community. With Bunny, she transformed two former dairy barns on the edge of Interlaken Park into the Caunterbury Restaurant, which thrived for nearly twenty years. The Caunterbury welcomed many notable guests and Margie was its heart- greeting everyone with a radiant smile, warm conversation, and unwavering commitment to service. The restaurant left a lasting imprint: its famous coconut bread recipe still circulates today and the friendships formed among guests and staff have endured for decades. After the Caunterbury, Margie served the City of Saratoga Springs as manager of the Canfield Casino. Her eye for design, respect for local history, and deep community ties helped revitalize the venue as a premier gathering place. She retired in 2006 and happily spent her days cheering on Tiger Woods, tending to her gardens, enjoying time with family, and, ever the host, presiding over Sunday family dinners. There she passed down cherished recipes, none with any written measurements, and cemented an eternal and deeply treasured bond with all those who were fortunate enough to attend.

Margie is survived by her children, Laura L. Farone (John), Louis J. Farone (Alicia), and Peter G. Farone (Andrea); ten grandchildren and seven great- grandchildren.

A private burial service was held at Greenridge Cemetery on Friday November 14, 2025.
