Margaret graduated from Bradford High School in 1965; after which, she went onto train as a cosmetologist at Continental Beauty School in Olean, NY. Margaret was an accomplished beautician and always knew how to make others look and feel better about themselves. During her cosmetology career, Margaret was recognized in one of the top magazines in the industry for her superior performance and outstanding customer service. In 1984, she and her husband, Bill, were called to the ministry and moved from their lifelong home to Circleville, OH, where Margaret earned her Associates Degree in Christian Ministry.

Margaret loved the Lord and served Him well. She taught and sought out God's Word and memorized it to the point where she could quote it in any and all situations. Margaret was an ardent prayer warrior and believed, wholeheartedly, in the holy trinity and divine intervention.

Margaret and her husband, Bill, served the Fairview Evangelical church faithfully for 25 years until this year, when the couple retired and moved from Three Springs to Mount Union, PA. Prior to their time at Fairview, they served at the Rixford Evangelical Church, from 1988 - 1992. During her time in the ministry, Margaret served as the President of the Eastern Conference of Evangelical Women and sat on the board for the National Evangelical church.

Margaret was an exquisite chef, spending hours prepping and preparing meals, sharing God's love through the food that she made. She loved to branch out and try new and exotic foods, putting her heart and soul into each dish.
