Margaret was the daughter of Elizabeth Bunting, born in Quainton, England, and Henry Gardner, born in Canada. Her husband was Damascus "Mack" Monks.

They were the parents of two daughters, Mollie and Fannie. Mollie's given name was Mary Elizabeth Monks; Fannie's given name was Sarah Frances Monks.

Maggie and Mack also raised their niece, Ellen Elizabeth "Nellie" Gardner, whose mother died the day after she was born in February 1881. Nellie's father was Maggie's brother, Dr. Charles W. Gardner; her mother was Sarah Eleanor Harris, called "Ellen."

The Monks' daughter Mollie died about age 20 of tuberculosis (her ailment according to her cousin Arla Gardner Caulk in the early 1980's). Mollie's death was never officially recorded.

Fannie and Nellie lived to old age, but never married.

Maggie is remembered in the Gardner family as "making the greatest English plum pudding." She died of breast cancer.
