She married Wallace Earle "Wally" Whitmore (1927-2002) on June 16, 1951, and they raised four children, Laura Margaret Whitmore Anderson, David Wallace Whitmore, Douglas Nelson Whitmore (deceased 2024) and Robert Charles Whitmore. She and her family resided in Alexandria, VA, Greensboro, NC, Fairfax, VA, Washington, DC and Ashburn, VA. Marge enjoyed working as an ISA Accredited Estate Appraiser in DC and Northern, VA.
