Margaret spent her time at home playing her electronic card games, pull tabs, and coin boards. She also loved her word searches and was known to go through three a week. She was a member of several local Sanford clubs including the Amvets Auxilliary, American Legion and the Wolves Club. She enjoyed spending time at the Amvets with her husband and friends, especially her Friday night kareoke where she would always begin her turn by singing, "The Wonder of You", as a dedication to "the guy at the bar" her husband Henry. Margaret's life was a testament to resilience and the power of love, leaving behind joy, laughter, and enduring memories. She is predeceased by her parents and six brothers, Gerard, Paul, Clement, Joseph, Rene and Roger.
