Margot met her husband, Robert Arthur Youmans (Ray) who was in the army and stationed in Germany, while Margot was working as a secretary for the 3rd Army Division in Fuerth.

She was a big supporter of the Shrine, Jobs Daughters, Demolay and high school band. In 1992 after Ray retired they moved to Sierra Vista, AZ where they continued to be active with the Sierra Vista Methodist Church and other organizations.

Margot is survived by her daughter, Rosemarie Davis of Sierra Madre, CA, her son and daughter-in-law, Bruce and Rita Youmans of Sierra Vista, AZ, her son and daughter-in-law, Steven and Vicki Youmans of Ventura, CA and her daughter and son-in-law Susan and Jim Pieratt of Horseshoe Bend, ID.
