Her loved ones continue to be warmed by her sweaters and afghans. She also loved bowling. In addition to her participation in many leagues, she often served as the secretary and treasurer, keeping meticulous records. Marguerite was an avid reader, and loved to travel.  Some of her destinations included Jamaica, Scotland, Switzerland and Alaska. Marguerite also loved animals and was happiest with a cat on her lap and a dog by her side.
