Following graduation from nursing school, she moved to Worland to work for Dr. L.S. Anderson at his new hospital. She met a handsome young rancher from Hyattville, Samuel Wesley Hyatt, and they were married on June 6, 1943 in Denver, Colo.
Margaret and Wes made their home at the Hyatt Ranch near Hyattville until moving to Thermopolis in the late 1990s to live in a condo, then to the Wyoming Pioneer Home. Her home in Hyattville always was an inspiration to others for what a real home should be.
While living in Hyattville, she was an active member in the Hyattville Methodist Church where she taught Sunday school, served as the chairperson of the annual Hyattville Harvest Dinner for 25 years, and served as a church officer in several positions. She and Wes were active in local community affairs including securing the former Hyattville School to become the Hyattville Community Center.
She had been a 4-H cooking leader for many years. She was known by family and friends as an excellent seamstress, often making them clothing and knitting sweaters for them. Margaret had won ribbons for her sewing and knitting at the Big Horn County Fair. She also had a collection of fine Native American jewelry.
Margaret also was an artist working in oils, watercolors and charcoal. She was president of the Art Guild in Hyattville where she participated in the Hyattville Art Show.
