Margaret "Cookie" M Butcher

Cookie was born in Hartford CT but spent most of her life in East Hartford CT. She was a bartender in the community for many years, and a light throughout the town for many more. She loved to love people – she gave her heart and soul to her loved ones and influenced others to do the same within their own lives. She enjoyed laughing and dancing like no one was watching and was truly and deeply in love with life itself. Cookie will be missed dearly by her friends and family.

Margaret was predeceased by her parents Harold and Elizabeth Butcher, her siblings Maureen Fantasia, Martin Butcher, and Francis Butcher, and her niece Joanne Butcher. She is survived by her daughter Natalie Soto, her Goddaughter and great niece Angelina Salvatore, her brother Thomas Butcher, her nephews Francis Salls and Richard Fantasia Jr., her nieces Kimberly Salvatore and her husband Anthony Salvatore, Maria Geroge and her husband Mike George, and her great nieces and nephews Anthony Salvatore Jr, Daisy Fantasia, Gabriel George, Niko George, and Zachary George.
