Margaret or 'Tim' as she was affectionately called by family and friends was educated in the Oxford, Pennsylvania Public School System. Upon graduating from Oxford High School, 'Tim' began employment at various jobs in the Oxford area.

'Tim' was a very fun loving and caring person her entire life. She was an avid dancer and loved to travel, but at heart she was a home body that loved her family dearly. Her daughter-in-law Judy and her were a shopping duo; they enjoyed going to the flea markets and thrift stores together, usually spending entire Saturdays. 'Tim' also enjoyed watching basketball and baseball games on television. All were welcome to her home for a good hot meal and a lot of laughter.
In 1992, she moved to the home of her son and dear daughter in–law in Philadelphia, Pa. In 1998, she started to show signs of Alzheimer/dementia and needed some additional medical assistance. In 2002, when her son and his wife moved to Columbia, South Carolina she moved with them and became a resident at the Magnolia Manor Nursing Home, until her going home with the Lord.
