After completing high school, she moved to Washington, DC with her cousin Olivia Green, to improve her chances for employment.

Margaret accepted Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age and remained faithful until her death. She was a supportive member of Second Mt. Zion church, often returning home to attend church functions and events. Once in Washington, DC, she became a member of Bethel Commandment Church and later joined Beulah Baptist Church, where she was an active devoted member of the Culinary, Nursing and Missionary ministries. She loved Beulah Baptist and participated in the “Recycled Teenager” group with fellow church seniors.

Margaret accepted employment as a live-in babysitter for a family in Arlington, VA. She later began employment at General Services Administration (GSA) as a Messaging Clerk, while working part-time cleaning business offices. From there Margaret became an Elevator Operator at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and advanced to a Mail Clerk at the US Tax Court, delivering the daily mail to Federal Judges and lawyers. With the encouragement from her daughters, she retired from her part-time job and began focusing on vacation time.
