Margaret was born on July 28,1923 in Agra, Oklahoma. She grew up on a farm with her father, Herman Long, her eldest sister, Beryl, and her youngest sister, Carolyn.

Margaret thrived in all she did, even without the modern conveniences of electricity, running water, and central heating. She loved farm life, including milking cows, feeding chickens, and raising pigs. Living in Oklahoma brought with it frequent tornadoes, which forced the family to take shelter in their root cellar.

Throughout her life, Margaret deeply cared for her family, and bestowed kindness on others. She loved dogs, birds, flowers and her cats, Blackeagle, Twinkle, Pixie, Graywolf, Bombolurina, Victoria, Falstaff, MungoJerrie and Alice.
