Margie was raised in the Taloga area and graduated from Taloga High School in 1941. As a young girl of 12 years old she began a life long love for playing the piano by accompanying her father and Uncle Ivan’s gospel quartet and for many years thereafter provided a ministry of beautiful piano and organ music for her family churches, rest homes, and other special occasions and events. However, her most important contribution to her community and family is the example she set as a committed Christian woman. She was married to Mr. Robert C.
