Mary Margaret “MM” was born in Franklin, TN, on April 10, 1935. She and her family lived several years in Madison, GA before moving to Bradenton, FL. MM attended Wesleyan College in Macon, GA and met her husband, Bob on a blind date at a GA Tech football game. The two were married on June 25, 1957 and remained together until Bob’s passing in 2015. The two spent their early married life moving from Princeton, NJ to Los Angeles, CA to West Allis, WI following Bob’s career at Allis-Chalmers. MM and Bob spent more than 25 years in Brookfield, WI before moving to Farmington Hills, MI and then retiring to Keowee Key, SC.
MM maintained several hobbies throughout her life, including sewing and volunteer work. Through the years, she served as room parent and scout troop leader for both her children. She taught reading in an elementary enrichment program. She volunteered at nursing homes and hospice care facilities for many years. MM was an avid quilter in her retirement years, and enjoyed putting educational programs together for her women’s group, PEO.
