Margaret enjoyed bingo, playing games with family, quilting, and the Cardinals. She was an excellent cook and was best known for her delicious pies.  

Margaret was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Memorials may be made in Margaret's name to the American Cancer Society or a charity of the donor's choice.
