Once married to Robin they traveled Europe during his military service before settling back in Birmingham and raising three beautiful daughters. They were very active in the Vestavia community and made lifelong friends. They could always be found playing bridge and golf at Chase Lake Country Club. Family was always a huge part of Margaret’s life. She loved to bake and has passed on many recipes to her family.
