After graduation, Margie helped her parents in their home with chores such as canning, cooking, and baking.

After living with sister Helen for most of her life, Margie spent her last years at the Osmond Hospital Care Center where she enjoyed wonderful care and companionship. She liked playing cards, doing crafts, watching birds at the feeder outside her window, and most of all she loved conversing with visitors. Former neighbors, Tom and Dottie Schmit, were among the most frequent visitors delivering her mail and keeping the bird feeder full.
