After working various jobs including taking in laundry and working at the Circle Pines Motel, Margaret became the secretary to the superintendent of the Groton school until her retirement at age 72.

She enjoyed crocheting afghans for family and friends over the years and it was a special gift to receive one of her uniquely individual afghans.
