Margaret worked for Carle Foundation Hospital as the accounts receivables manager for 29 years and then for the Muscular Dystrophy Association for several more years before retiring.

Margaret (Daisy) enjoyed a variety of activities, chief among them were family celebrations and get-togethers.

Margaret also enjoyed camping, bicycling, reading Steven King novels, and caring for her two rescue horses at her home in Mahomet, Il. She was also proud of the motorcycle license classification listed on her drivers license, and in being a diehard Cardinals fan. But most of all, Margaret enjoyed interacting with anyone she met; doing so in a manner that formed an instant connection. Margaret will be missed by all who encountered her warm smile and gracious manner. She will be especially missed by her 'boyfriend' of 55 years, Tom.
