Family and friends recalled Margaret as a hard worker to the point where she was called “Spunky” instead of Maggie. She was a member of the Cereal City Lions Club. Margaret was also a volunteer for the Children’s Special Olympics. She was proud of her Presbyterian faith and enjoyed her relationships fostered there.
