After retiring, they briefly lived in Galesburg and then settled in Knoxville. Margaret was a great cook and made delicious lunches at Appleton Grade School for a long time. Many adults still would come up to her and tell her how much they enjoyed her food when they were in school. She made the best sweet rolls and strawberry jam that her family had ever tasted. She was also an accomplished seamstress, a great housekeeper and an all-around lovely person. She will be greatly missed. She was a member of First Christian Church of Galesburg.
