They went to Hawaii for their honeymoon and enjoyed several trips back over the years. She was secretary to the minister of Fourth Presbyterian Church until starting a family. Her five children were blessed to have her as their mother. Later in life she went to work as a salesperson and then a manager for Jordan Kitts Music.

Marguerite loved the Lord and enjoyed sharing her faith with others. She loved birds, flowers, old movies, Holidays and sharing a good laugh. She was a wonderful cook, and many have enjoyed such favorites as potato salad, almond cake, candy cane cookies, mommy Christmas bread, and a classic grilled cheese sandwich.
