Margaret Elizabeth Caracciolo, born on April 4, 1937, in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, to Charles D. and Blanche Fraley, passed away peacefully on October 29, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Margaret devoted many years to her craft as a skilled bookbinder at Holiday Tyler, in Gaithersburg Maryland. Margaret was a proud 32-year member of Pentalpha Chapter No. 38 Order of the Eastern Star. She served the Grand Chapter of Maryland as Grand Electa in 2014-2015. She also served the General Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star as its Hummingbird from 2015-2018. Through her service, she built lifelong friendships and touched countless lives with her kindness, generosity, and gentle spirit.

In retirement, Margaret found great joy in crafting and baking, often sharing her wonderful creations and delicious desserts with family and friends. She and her beloved husband, Addison, shared a life filled with laughter, love, and adventure. They enjoyed traveling, making memories, and cherishing every moment together.

Margaret was preceded in death by her parents, Charles D. and Blanche Fraley; her brothers, June Littleton and Charles Fraley; her sister, Irene Mitchell; and her husband, Addison Caracciolo.

She is survived by her son, Troy Terry; her granddaughters, Kyla Terry and Tori Palmer; her brothers, Walter Fraley and his wife Martha Fraley, Johnny Fraley and his wife Shirley Fraley; her sister, Mary Harding; and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends who will forever hold her in their hearts.

Margaret's warmth, compassion, and unwavering love will continue to shine through all who were blessed to know her. May she rest in eternal peace, joyfully reunited with her beloved Addison.

Services will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 at Eackles-Spencer & Norton Funeral Home, 256 Halltown Road, Harpers Ferry, WV. Interment will follow at Pleasant View Memory Gardens.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of the Panhandle, 330 Hospice Lane, Kearneysville, WV 25430 or Leukemia, the gift of life.
