Patricia Fargione of Old Forge, NY (formerly of East Berlin, CT), beloved wife of Salvatore Fargione Sr, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2025, at the age of 87 surrounded by her family. She faced her final days with the same grace, prayers and strength that defined her life. Born March 16th, 1938! (Yes, we know, her best kept secret. Many knew her birthday was March 17th), in New Britain, CT to the late Helen and William Kania. In 1960 she married Salvatore and together they raised their sons Salvatore Jr and Frank Fargione, Stanely and Walter Godburn and daughter Barbara (Dilernia) Curnan of East Haven, CT. Her greatest joy came from time in the kitchen, watching Mass on TV or in church, her rosary beads and prayer, knitting, reading many books and magazines, tea parties with her sisters, talking on the phone, collecting Knick knacks and watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren grow up. She will forever be cherished in our hearts and remembered always.
