Margaret dedicated herself to leadership within her community, school, and church. She organized numerous community parades and celebrations. She was very active with Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley Schools and lead the Knowledge Bowl and Student Council. Her goal in life was to help children reach their full potential. She had a gift of touching young lives and guiding their minds. She found positivity in every child she met.
