Margaret was creative and artistic, learning to play the piano and violin for which she earned a B.A. in Music. She also knitted, crocheted and sewed for herself and her family, and had a life long passion for painting ceramics.
Margaret sang in the church choir and was a pre-school Sunday school teacher who also sang in a trio with her sisters Dorothy and Harriet. Margaret ("Muggs") married George Washington McCune ("Mac") and they served in Spring Valley, NY and later in Atlanta, where George was the Pastoral Care Minister at Wieuca Road Baptist Church. "Mac" and "Muggs" were married on Aug. 1, 1947 in Eau Claire, a partnership that lasted 69 years. Early in their married life, they were missionaries to Japan for five years.
