Margi spent 35 years as a member of the Loyal Order of the Moose where she was a Senior Regent and participated in many events at the San Jose, CA chapter of the Moose Lodge and later after moving from California to Oregon, the Stayton, OR chapter of the Moose Lodge. She took pride in her accomplishments as a Woman of the Moose and throughout the years garnered an impressive collection of Moose to represent her lifelong sisterhood and Moose Lodge family.
Margi was an avid softball fan from the time her children played for several years up through her granddaughter who played for several more years.
She had to be the biggest Elvis fan in the world and always listened to his music and watched his movies every chance she got.
In her retired years, Margi loved to spend her time using her creativity by crafting and scrapbooking. She loved to dance and attend concerts where she would always be seen singing along with the music. She was an avid reader and would usually be found with a book, or in recent years thanks to technology, an iPad in her hand reading a novel. She enjoyed spending time with her family and making new friends wherever she went. She loved to camp and travel and enjoyed sharing memories of her favorite trips.
