Margie was born in Bowie to Clarence Joseph Dodsworth and Irma Naomi Glover Dodsworth. She attended college briefly and returned to Fort Worth, where she began working as a secretary for the Moslah Shrine Temple. While there, she met and married John Ed Keeter. Margie was a loving mother who devoted her life to her daughter, her husband and her career. She loved to eat Mexican food, go shopping and spend time with friends and family. She and John Ed were well known for their fish fries, pool parties and years of entertaining. In 1994 tragedy struck when, unexpectedly, her husband passed away.
