Margy graduated from Burke High School in 1978, and then attended the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where she received her bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. She graduated from UNO in 1983.

She was a long-time member of Brookside Church in Omaha. Last year, Margy was inducted as an official member into the Millard Lions Club, and before her passing, was looking forward to getting more involved in the club's service efforts.

Margy had a lively spirit and a loving and generous nature. She was known for her wonderful cooking and meal planning for special occasions. She often cooked large and delicious feasts for family events, her church, and other special occasions.
