She was born November 4th, 1931, in Lake, Mississippi to James and Nannie Lue Wolfe. She was one of seven children. Margaret graduated high school and then completed nursing school thereafter. She met the love of her life, Rony Simmons, in her hometown, who she later married in Socorro, New Mexico, where her family had relocated.
Margaret and Rony then moved to Farmington, New Mexico and lived 10 beautiful years just the two of them enjoying life and living to its fullest. They went on to have three children.

Margaret lived her life putting God first always. She was very devoted to her husband and children.
