Margaret enjoyed volunteering at orphanages in Europe, to include Romania and Poland, and the U.S. in Minnesota, Montana, and West Virginia. Locally, she also enjoyed volunteering with Big Brothers and Big Sisters and for community events and loved going to the Clinton County Fair and performing with her keyboard at the Mill Hall Follies. She loved to be outdoors, specifically trout fishing. Margaret was an avid reader, especially books relating to the Holocaust, and anything written by Frank McCourt.
