On August 27, 1955, in Charlevoix, Margot married the love of her life, Herbert Kane, who survives. Also surviving are her four children, Susan Kane of Port Charlotte, FL, Barbie (Randy) Schnackenberg of Charlevoix, Rick (Marlene) Kane of Laingsburg, Mi, and Milo Kane of Charlevoix; six grandchildren, Aaron (Liz) Schnackenberg, Emma Kane, Hannah Kane, Jessica (Ryan) Galbraith, Abigail Kane, and Caitlyn Kane; and two great-grandchildren, Henry and Nolan.
