Margaret Jarvis went to be with the Lord on September 29, 2025 in Tucson, Arizona. Affectionately known to her friends as Marge, she was born October 1, 1927 in Brooklyn, New York, and and she had two children, Patricia Beroza and Gregory Tancredi (deceased), four grandchildren Tracee Beroza, Marc Beroza, Jessica Tancredi, Vincent Tancredi, and great grand-daughters Violet Garzon- Beroza and Celeste Garzon -Beroza.

She was formerly married to Jim Tancredi in New York where they ran a restaurant for many years before retiring to Arizona. After Jim's passing, she met and married Howard Jarvis from Kentucky. They resided in Monticello, Kentucky for well over 20 years where they were both active in their church and in the community. Howard and Marge raised many animals including sheep, goats, cows, chickens, and Marge produced a bountiful garden yearly. Marge was also talented in needlework making many heirlooms which she passed on to her family. After the passing of Howard and her son Greg, she moved back to Arizona to be near her daughter, Patricia and son-in-law Bob.

She resided at The Fountains for 2 1/2 happy years making many friends, and participating in her favorite pastime, Bingo! After this stay she moved to Via Elegante Assisted Living, where she was afforded more care and help with everyday chores. Three weeks later she passed away suddenly, leaving many friendships behind, even after
being there for such a short time.
