She was a member of Gesu Catholic Church, St. Vincent de Paul Society, and the Westgate Neighbors Association.

Margaret was a source of peace, love and strength for her family, her children and grandchildren were the joy of her life. She will be remembered for her ever-present smile, infectious laugh and lively sense of humor. Her passions in life included her family, the flower gardens she was so proud of, her many friends and traveling in retirement.
