She liked to challenge herself doing word search and crossword puzzles.
Watching the Andy Griffith Show, Mama's Family, or reading old western books were a couple of Margie's favorite things.
Most of all Margie loved babysitting her grandkids and great grandkids, and cherished her time spent with her family.
