Margaret was a 1970 graduate of Florien High School. She was employed by Valley Electric for 30+ years until her retirement. She was a proud member of the Anacoco Lions Club, which helps support the Louisiana Lions Camp for Crippled Children. Christmas was her favorite holiday. She had the gift of finding the perfect present for everyone on her list, and she enjoyed the whole experience.
Margaret had a passion for collecting stray and orphaned animals. She spent many hours making sure all their individual needs were met, and no one can ever say she denied them of anything.
