Margaret lived a life centered around her family. As a committed Navy wife, she dedicated herself to supporting her husband’s service and providing a stable, caring home for their children. In her later years, she embraced her new “professional” role, traveling across the country with Ernie to attend her grandchildren’s many activities. Whether it was little league, youth baseball, high school sports, cheer competitions, or band performances, Margaret was there, showing her support with enthusiasm and genuine pride. These travels became some of her fondest adventures.

Margaret’s life reflected devotion and generosity. Her presence will be missed deeply, yet her influence and spirit remain in the hearts of those who knew her.
