She was very involved in her kids’ lives, by being an active PTA member and a cub scouts Den Mother. She also loved to bake cookies and would share them with everyone. Her baking would fill the house with hungry children from all over the neighborhood. Family was very important to Margery, and they will miss her dearly.
