Margaret enjoyed working on family genealogy and researching Beacon and area coal mining history. She was a member of the Keomah Genealogical Society and was truly a treasure trove of information.

She loved to travel with friends or sometimes by herself. Margaret enjoyed country music and was the Iowa representative for the Bill Anderson Fan Club for several years. She made several trips to Nashville and Branson MO was another favorite place for her to visit. Margaret had a genuine love of her country and very much appreciated veterans, she was quick to share a sincere “Thank You” to any veteran she encountered. She also enjoyed going to breakfast with friends and coffee time with church friends on Tuesdays.
