Margaret M. Naclerio, of Newburgh, NY entered into eternal rest on December 13, 2025 at her daughter's home in Walden, NY. She was 84 years old.

Mom was a caring and loving mother who always put her family first. While she cherished many roles in her life, the one she loved the most was grandmother. Her unconditional love, strength, kindness, and grace made us
