Margaret was a lifelong member of Immaculate Conception Church in Dennison where she attended daily Mass until she became ill. A 1947 graduate of Immaculate Conception High School, she received a Bausch & Lomb Science Award in her senior year. After her graduation, she earned a degree in medical technology from Nazareth College in Bardstown, Kentucky which enabled her to work at Toledo Mercy Hospital, Mt. Carmel Hospital in Columbus and Mercy Medical Center in Canton. Margaret also worked for a physician in Uhrichsville for many years and spent some years taking care of her mother. She was a member of the Association of Medical Technologists.

Her favorite pastimes were crossword puzzles, tv game shows, trips to the Holy Ground Coffee Shop and Tappan Lake Marina, and attending concerts at Tuscora Park. She enjoyed taking the Polar Express at Christmas, as well as decorating the family Christmas tree and Nativity scene. Her friends and family also remember her for the fudge that she used to make.
