Professionally, Margarette was a caseworker for the Northeast Missouri Correctional Center. Away from work, Margarette enjoyed playing bingo at the American Legion and visiting the casino to try her luck at the slot machines. A wonderful cook, Margarette made the most delicious homemade fudge and chocolate chip cookies. Margarette was proud of her heritage. As part Cherokee, she loved to collect Native American artifacts. Catching up on her favorite shows, going to yard sales, and simply window shopping were a few things Margarette took pleasure in. Most of all, she enjoyed the time she could spend with her friends and family, especially her grandchildren. Margarette was a Baptist by faith.
