Margaret "Marge" Dirgo, 91, of Milford, beloved wife of the late Edward Dirgo, passed away peacefully at her home on November 10, 2026. Born on May 25, 1935, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, she was the daughter of the late John and Margaret Wasko.

Marge graduated from Roger Ludlow High School in 1953 and went on to take college courses in accounting. She was blessed with six children, three boys and three girls, whom she loved dearly. She later became supervisor of the Cost Accounting Department at Casco Corporation, where she served for over 30 years. Marge enjoyed many hobbies, including crocheting, oil painting, cooking, and baking. One of her most cherished ways of showing love was through her crocheting, and each of her children and grandchildren received a personalized afghan lovingly made just for them. She was also a devoted animal lover who opened her heart and home to many cats throughout her life. Marge enjoyed relaxing with a glass of wine while watching her beloved UConn Huskies women's basketball team, a pastime that brought her much happiness.
