Margaret D. Saraficio, aged 89, passed away on November 4, 2024. Born on July 3, 1935, in Quijotoa Arizona to Sofie Robles-Saraficio and David Saraficio, Margaret’s life was rich with culture and tradition.
A talented basket weaver and traditional singer, Margaret shared her artistry and knowledge generously with others. She warmly welcomed college students into her home, eager to teach them about her songs and the meaning behind them. Her contributions to her community extended beyond her art; Margaret was a devoted member of the St. Francis Committee for over 50 years, where her kindness and joy in meeting others left a lasting impact.
Margaret is survived by her daughter, Marlene Saraficio-Juan, and six grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, four sisters and five brothers.
An all-night wake will be held on Friday, November 8, 2024, at St. Aloysius Church in Gu Oidak Community, followed by a mass at 5:00 p.m. Margaret will be laid to rest at sunrise on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at Big Fields Cemetery.
The family would like to thank you for your generosity, prayers, donations and continued prayers.
J. Warren Funeral Services are in charge of the arrangements.
