Margie was happy growing up in this large family of seven girls and only one boy. Her father would often jokingly tell people that he had seven daughters and each one had a brother.

Upon returning to Minnesota, she was employed by and attended the U of M. She again moved to the west and found herself at the firm of one of the leading architects in San Francisco.
She met her husband, Mo, at INA where they both were employed in 1964. They married in 1968 and then moved to Fountain Hills, AZ where they spent 40 wonderful years on Dull Knife Drive. They golfed, played tennis at Club Mirage and became charter members of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church where they sang in the choir - also spending time dancing at The Men's Club. Maggie enjoyed belonging to the Fountain Hills Art League; completed many courses in art, interior decorating, computer and business; received her real estate license; and worked many years for Taliesen architects.
