Marjorie H. (Jacques) Frasca, 86, of East Hartford, loving wife of 67 years of Domenico Frasca, passed into the hands of God on Sunday, June 21, 2020 with her loving family by her side at her home. Born in Windsor on June 24, 1933, a daughter of the late George W. Jacques, Sr. and Hilda (Munson) Jacques Curran, she had been a resident of East Hartford for most of her life. A devout catholic, Margie was a faithful communicant of St. Mary’s Church, East Hartford and a former Eucharistic Minister for her church. She enjoyed her flower garden and was an excellent baker.
Margie was a two-time President of the East Hartford Emblem Club #341, serving 1981-1982 and 2008-2009. During that time, she volunteered with the veterans’ organizations doing multiple charitable work, including placing flags in the cemeteries for Memorial Day. She liked speaking with students within the East Hartford schools about drug awareness “Hugs not Drugs” program. Margie also often volunteered working at the Shriner’s Hospital for children and area convalescent homes. Most of all, Margie was a devoted, caring, wonderful wife and mother who always put her family first, and received her greatest joy spending time with her entire family. She will be remembered by those who loved and knew her for her kind, loving, compassionate spirit. To the world you are a mom, to your family you are the world!
