Margaret was a dedicated employee of the Urology Clinic, where she worked for 40 years, right up until a few weeks before her 91st birthday. She also was a long time member of St. Thomas Church where she took an active role as “Akela” of a scout troop and served many years as the Sunday School Superintendent.
