Margaret was born on June 19, 1926 in the family farmhouse in Plum Township, Pennsylvania. Following her High School graduation, she worked as a telephone operator at S. S.

After her retirement, Margaret was very active for many years delivering Meals on Wheels and was a group tour leader for Glenshaw A.A.R.P. She loved her Pittsburgh Pirates and attended many games with family and friends. Margaret’s foremost love was of her family and cherished each one.

In 2004 after several health issues, Margaret moved to Naples, Florida to be near her daughter Barbara. She thrived there and enjoyed water aerobics, card games, dominos, Friday dinners out and attended many social activities and trips.
