Margaret was an only child.
She was born on March 26, 1926 and was raised in Alabama. Following her graduation from Woodlawn High School, she attended Auburn University and graduated with a teaching degree.
Following her education at Auburn University, she married Ruel Russell, Jr. and became mother of daughter LeeAnn and son, Ruel Russell III.
