She participated in Bible Study and enjoyed mentoring others.  A favorite event for Marguerite was attending the Atlantic Christian Ashram each summer where she made many life-long friends.  She loved baking, especially during the holidays.  There were always wonderful treats waiting for you at her home.  She was an avid crafter and enjoyed knitting mittens for her grandchildren.
