In 1947 she left school to begin a 71year adventure with the love of her life, Wilford Moberly.
The marriage which began February 7, 1947, was blessed with 3 daughters, Alta, Rita, and Annita, and called many places home before settling down in Edmond OK.

Love of travel led the couple to visit all 50 United States and all bordering provinces of Canada and Mexico. In 1974 Margaret accomplished a long-time dream of earning her Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED).
