The earth lost and the universe gained the bright soul of Margo Salinger, when she passed away suddenly on May 24, 2021. She was 33 years young.

Margo was born on March 28, 1988 in Carmel, NY, and was raised in Brewster, NY by her loving parents, Bruce and Maureen Keenan Salinger. Margo graduated from Brewster High School in 2006.

Margo was newly engaged to Graig Norden of Mahopac, NY, and was excited for their future together. Margo and her sister, Mallory, had just spent a weekend wedding dress shopping and celebrating being together and all that their futures held.

Margo was loved by so many – for she was hard not to love. Aside from her charming smile and adorable dimples, Margo was cheerful and had an infectious sense of humor. She was loving, genuine and very loyal. She had a passion for music and from many genres, especially folk and blues. Margo loved Graig, her family, and her friends, and she wanted everyone she loved to be close to her.
