Margaret Mary "Marge" Horvath, of Hamden, passed away on Monday, December 29th, 2025, at the Yale New Haven Hospital-St. Raphael Campus. She was born in New Haven on August 13th, 1935, the only child of the late Joseph and Irma Szabo Horvath. She is survived by several cousins and friends whom she adored, especially her cousin Mark Horvath, his wife Sue, and their children David and Megan, who were always there for her. Marge graduated from Wilbur Cross High School and lived in New Haven until she and her mother moved to Hamden in 1959. Marge spent more than 50 years in the insurance industry; as a producer, consultant, agency owner and after retirement, a liability claims adjuster. She received numerous designations and awards during that time. Marge also served as President of the National Association of Insurance Women (NAIW). Marge was an accomplished figure skater and in later years an avid golfer. She was a huge UCONN Women's Basketball fan. She had a great sense of humor; loved to entertain, travel and volunteer. The visiting hour will be Friday, January 2nd, 2026, from 9:30 to 10:30 AM at The Havens Family North Haven Funeral Home, 36 Washington Avenue. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:00 AM in St. Elizabeth of the Trinity Parish at St. Barnabas Church, 44 Washington Avenue, North Haven. Entombment will follow in the All Saints Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of one's choice.

Margaret and my late wife, Shirley Manemeit Savo were life long friends. They went to elementary school together, to Junior high school together and graduated from Wilbur Cross High school together. As teenagers and then as young women, they spent as many hours as they possibly could at the New Haven Arena, skating and teaching skating to classes of young kids. They also appeared in ice shows that were put on for their skating classes, usually doing a number or two as a twosome. After their skating years ended, they continued their friendship always with mutual love and respect for each other. That friendship lasted 80+ years. God Bless you Margaret! A donation in Margie´s name has been made to St Jude´s Children´s Research Hospital.

I enjoyed many insurance functions with Marge through our any years of membership in NAIW, IAIP and NHAIW. We shared fellowship and friendships with many local, Ct, and various other states members and always looked forward to our next adventure. I will miss her and cherish the memories of times we spent together over 60 plus years. RIP lovely lady!
