Margaret was born on May 7, 1934, in Upton, west of Mount Vernon, IN, to Walter and Lillian (Lupton) Broadhead. She was the salutatorian of the MVHS Class of 1951 and went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Evansville College.

She earned a Master's Degree in Education from the University of Evansville, as well as a Master's Degree in Library Science from Indiana State University. Margaret was a devoted member of the First United Methodist Church in Mt.

Margaret was a member of Beta Sigma Omicron sorority at the University of Evansville, the Mount Vernon Tri Kappa chapter, and the Tuesday Club. She was a passionate advocate for the natural environment and loved spending time outdoors, especially picking raspberries. A devoted patron of the arts, she enjoyed attending local concerts and theater productions and took great joy in introducing young people to the arts. She treasured every piece of artwork created by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
