Margaret attended Scotts Creek Elementary School and Logan High School in Logan, Ohio. She graduated Logan High School in May 1937, where Margaret became active in 4H Club and learned how to cook and sew.  However, her ambition was to attend college in the field of fashion design.

Margaret took a job during WWII as a secretary in fraud investigation for Ohio Bureau of Unemployment. She married Frederick Good April 11, 1942 at United Methodist Church in Logan, Ohio. Soon after they were married Fred was shipped overseas. In the 44 months Fred was overseas they wrote over 1,000 letters to each other. While Fred was in the war, Margaret lived in Columbus, Ohio. Upon Fred’s return they had four children together; Sharon, Theodore, Deborah, and William.

Margaret enjoyed traveling and was able to do much of that with her children and grandchildren. Some of her vacations included:  England, the Caribbean, Canada, and Florida. In her 90’s she traveled to:  Alaska, Cape Cod, Florida and California. She appreciated genealogy and even organized a family trip to England in order to explore her family background.
