Margaret Beetz Obituary

Margaret Doyle Beetz, a Simsbury native who spent most of her life in Simsbury died in the early morning hours of April 6th after a struggle with cancer. Margie's family was a founding member of Hopmeadow County Club and she later became a member along with her husband Charles enjoying many happy hours golfing. Margie attended college and nursing school, but decided that nursing was not for her. She went into insurance sales becoming a partner in The Arthur Noll Insurance Agency in Bloomfield. Some years later the agency was sold to Sinclair Risk and Financial Management where she continued her sales career until her death.Margie had a strong and loving personality. If she met you and liked you, you would have no choice but to become her friend. She would keep after you, giving and doing things for you until you did. Margie is survived by her husband Charles, son James DiMeola and his wife Amanda, stepdaughter Ann Lisitano and her husband Richard, stepdaughter Caroline Fenske and her husband Reiner, and five grandchildren, Joseph, John and Mark Lisitano, Charles and Lukas Fenske, her sister Kay Minton and sister Mary Martin. And of course we cannot forget her loving cats, Buckwheat and Alfalfa.Calling hours are at The Vincent Funeral Home, 880 Hopmeadow Street in Simsbury on Sunday, April 14th from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. On Monday April 15th all are invited to the funeral home at 10:15 for procession to a Mass of Christian Burial, to be said at St. Mary's Church in Simsbury at 11:00 AM.

Margie is going to be so deeply missed by so many. I will miss her so very much that it is not possible to put into words!! She was so much more to me than just a wonderful friend she was as I would call her "My CT Mom". I will miss our phone conversations and our lunches but more than anything I will miss just knowing she is here. When I started Personal Training Margie 25 years ago I never knew we were going to become this close but shortly after meeting her I knew we had a wonderful connection that would last a lifetime and it did. I know the last few years have really thrown her some tough times and she always stayed strong and positive. I now have a angel in heaven and will continue our conversations. I am so sorry for your loss of to anyone who knew and loved Margie and my thoughts and prayers are with you all as her passing will definitely leave a void in all of our hearts.
Love always,
Your " Adopted Daughter" Debi

Margi was like a sister to me for 39 years. She took care of me in good times and in hard times like she did to everyone else. We cooked together, did sewing projects, gardening, reading novels, decorating, listening and dancing to music, traveling to Wild Dunes, golfing and most of all sharing our souls in unconditional friendship. Margi was an exceptional person who always put everyone first and herself last. She was beyond generous.She spent many hours helping me with my papers for my doctorate.and busted my butt until I graduated. She was strong and fought hard to live the last three years through a stroke, lung Cancer, fractures, chemo, radiation and brain surgery without even a complaint. Her sense of humor was always intact. Her faith was always in her spirit and shown in her love. She made the world a better place. I will miss her in a thousand ways. Heaven will be richer with her there. Cheers to you Margarita for a life well lived!
