Margaret "Margie" Providence (Cortese) Newman

Margaret "Margie" Newman

September 16, 1940 - October 21, 2025

Margaret Newman, lovingly known as "Margie" to her closest friends, passed away peacefully

on October 21, 2025, at the age of 85. Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, on September 16,

1940, Margie carried the warmth, humor, and spirit of her Brooklyn roots throughout her life.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, whose memory she cherished deeply. Margie

is survived by her devoted daughters, Janine Thompson and Allyson Newman; her adored

grandchildren, Stephanie and Claude Hoarau, Mark Kropf, and Zak Kropf; her loving sister,

Prudy DeMarco; her dear cousin, Pauline Occhipinti; and many cherished nieces and nephews.

Margie had a lifelong passion for gymnastics - a sport that brought her great joy. In her younger

years, she served as a gymnastics judge while supporting her daughter's athletic journey, taking

pride in every performance.

Among the many blessings in Margie's life was her extraordinary relationship with her sister,

Prudy. The two shared an unbreakable bond filled with laughter, unconditional love, and

countless memories. Their connection was a beautiful example of sisterhood and lifelong

friendship.

What truly defined Margie was her deep love for her friends and family. Her friendships were

lifelong treasures, and she remained close with her childhood friends from Brooklyn for more

than eight decades. Her warmth, loyalty, and laughter left a lasting impression on everyone she

met.

Margie will be remembered for her kindness, humor, and the love she shared so freely. Her spirit

will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew and loved

A private family memorial will be held at a later date.
