Margaret graduated in in 1950 from St. John's High School. She received her nursing degree from The St. Rita's School of Nursing in 1954 and worked there until she moved with her husband to Elizabethtown, Kentucky while he was stationed at Ft. Knox where she worked at the Hardin County Hospital. Later she volunteered her time assisting the Red Cross with blood drives and the Interfaith Thrift Shop. She was a member of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church. For the past 15 years she and Bob enjoyed spending their winters in Naples, Florida where she spent time following her interest in drawing and particularly watercolor painting. She took part in watercolor programs at Longboat Key, Sarasota and Naples, and had paintings accepted for shows at various other Florida locations. Margaret was also a member of the Lima Watercolor Society. She enjoyed traveling, especially their yearly family trips to Clear Lake and Coldwater Lake and their driving trip through the New England States, a trip to Nova Scotia and Ireland. Though not an avid birder like her husband, she would often go with Bob to Big Cypress and Turner River for bird watching. She said, "Florida birds are bigger than in Ohio and easier to see!" Margaret also enjoyed playing cards and dominoes
