Her mother passed away in 1925 where she moved around a lot and then moved to Omaha, NE in 1935 where she went to school and worked for TS Freeland. From 1936-1937 she then went to school and lived with Aunt Flora in Exitor, NE. In 1938 she returned to Ashby to live with brother Lafey and finished school up to the 9th grade. She then worked for the government being a teacher’s aid and worked for Nellie and Harry Sutton in the summers cooking and cleaning.

Carl Pine baptized her into the Seventh-Day Adventist Church 12-17-1955 in Chappell NE.
Margie loved her Lord and Savior and loved to share Him with others with bible studies, She read her bible daily and was reading it through for the 17th time. She was a avid ranchers wife, loved her husband and children, she loved to sew quilts and do embroidery work, loved to plant flowers in the spring and watch them grow through the summer. She loved to have a house full of plants, loved when people would stop by so that she could prepare a meal and had the Gift of Hospitality. She had a sense of humor when people would call her and say, “Is this the chicken lady”? She enjoyed doing plays in Ashby. Her last prayer with her prayer partner was that she prayed for her children, grand children etc. to walk on the street of heaven together.
