Margaret worked on the farm and was a homemaker. She enjoyed being on the Sanilac County Board of Canvassers for 35 years and was an active member of the Gideons Auxiliary for 40 years. Music was also a very big part of her life. She was dedicated to playing the piano and organ at her Church for over 50 years. She also enjoyed being an active member of the United Methodist Women.

Nothing made her more proud than to brag about her grandchildren. She was a loving wife, mother, one of the best grandmothers ever, and one of the most selfless people you'd know. Her life was one of service to God, Church, and her family.
